Description
Currently, if there's an unexpected section in the codeowners.toml file, it is silently ignored. Presumably, this would only happen by mistake, in which case an explicit error would make it much easier to debug.
(I haven't tested whether the same happens when an unexpected option is present in an expected section, but I'd expect it to fail, too)
