  @brief    Get number of sections in a dictionary
  @param    d   Dictionary to examine
  @return   int Number of sections found in dictionary

  This function returns the number of sections found in a dictionary.
  The test to recognize sections is done on the string stored in the
  dictionary: a section name is given as "section" whereas a key is
  stored as "section:key", thus the test looks for entries that do not
  contain a colon.

  This clearly fails in the case a section name contains a colon, but
  this should simply be avoided.

  This function returns -1 in case of error.

  This function queries a dictionary for a key. A key as read from an

  Supported values for integers include the usual C notation
  so decimal, octal (starting with 0) and hexadecimal (starting with 0x)
  are supported. Examples:

  - "42"      ->  42
  - "042"     ->  34 (octal -> decimal)
  - "0x42"    ->  66 (hexa  -> decimal)

  Warning: the conversion may overflow in various ways. Conversion is
  totally outsourced to strtol(), see the associated man page for overflow
  handling.

  Credits: Thanks to A. Becker for suggesting strtol()
