Tiramisu is made of almost three main objects :
- :class:`tiramisu.config.Config` which is the whole configuration entry point
- :class:`tiramisu.option.Option` stands for the option types
- :class:`tiramisu.option.OptionDescription` is the shema, the option's structure
- :class:`tiramisu.config.Config` which is the whole configuration entry point

Accessing the `Option`'s
