 - **[feature]**
+  Implement methods :py:meth:`configmix.config.Configuration.iter_jailed` and
+  :py:meth:`configmix.config._JailedConfiguration.iter_jailed` that yield
+  properly jailed configurations for container items (for lists and dicts,
+  no sets).
+  
+- **[feature]**
   Allow to enable and disable the internal caching
