Not explicitly.  However, there are no legal current uses of it, and
allowing it might encourage extensions to use the top-level config
namespace.  It also has the odd property that it _must_ be at the top
of a configuration file -- unlike all other configuration options, you
can never return to the section to add more variable definitions
later.
