no, they are not at all the same. the second line is useless all on its
own, all it does is put that option in a tab of some name, in this case
the programmer happened to call it "Required", but that name means
nothing to the parser.

input->required= is what is important for the parser.
input->guisection= just picks some tab name to use.

again, no. they are two totally separate things.
