I agree that this would be useful.

I prefer something like:
[generic]
Driver=3Datgen
Device=3D/dev/ttyS0
Baud=3D115200
Read=3Don
Local=3Don

We can even capitalize the values in gattty if it makes things easier.

Everything is a driver, in this case we mean the modem driver.  These are a=
lso =

generally always plugins of the same name which leads to confusion.
