Option _not_ to check parent directories for configuration files about figment HOT 1 CLOSED

Yeah, that's a totally reasonable request. More than happy to accept a PR in this direction.

The two obvious APIs are:

• add a new constructor that doesn't perform a search:

  Toml::read(foo)

• add a builder method that sets some internal parameter that determines whether the search is performed

  Toml::file(foo).search(false)

I don't have a preference for either option.

One downside of the second option is that search only has meaning when the source is a file, yet you can still set it when using direct strings:

Toml::string(foo).search(false)

For the first option, read implies we're actually going to read something, but that's done later. We could name it something else, of course, I'm just failing to come up with a good, clear name. That second best I've been able to muster is direct_file. Perhaps read is fine.

In retrospect, naming file() something like search() and keeping file for this purpose might have been ideal.
