Writing Visual Studio App.config

Question

I recently found myself writing some XML in my Visual Studio 2010 Project's App.config file.

The values I used were assemblyIdentity and bindingRedirect - neither of which show up using IntelliSense.

I'd like to know some cool tricks that other developers have come up with to use in App.config - a file I rarely touch.

There's a document on MSDN (+1 for other links), but it (most likely) will not go into detail on how to do some trick stuff.

[Update]

Due to the fact that Joe, djacobson, Henk Holterman, Mark Biek, and Neil Knight collectively voted to close my question, I've decided to post a couple of examples of the kinds of info I'm looking for:

Can you make your question a little more specific? What sorts of tricks are you looking for? — dizzwave, Aug 10 '11 at 17:05

Wait, what does that question have to do with app.configs? :) — dizzwave, Aug 10 '11 at 21:32
The guy is looking for techniques and ideas. Same here. Vote to reopen, please. — jp2code, Aug 11 '11 at 15:45

Well, since the goobers have closed this, I will award you the answer. I was hoping for more, but I can get some mileage out of this. – jp2code Aug 12 '11 at 14:08
