#'Add Modify Or Remove Variable Definitions In Configuration
#'
#'These functions help in adding, modifying or removing variable definitions 
#'in a configuration object obtained with \code{\link{ConfigFileOpen}} or 
#'\code{\link{ConfigFileCreate}}. ConfigEditDefinition() will add the 
#'definition if not existing.
#'
#'@param configuration Configuration object obtained wit ConfigFileOpen() or 
#'  ConfigFileCreate().
#'@param name Name of the variable to add/modify/remove.
#'@param value Value to associate to the variable.
#'@param confirm Flag to stipulate whether to ask for confirmation if the 
#'  variable is being modified. Takes by default TRUE.
#'
#'@return A modified configuration object is returned.
