        The host-matching rules of OpenSSH's ``ssh_config`` man page are used:
        For each parameter, the first obtained value will be used.  The
        configuration files contain sections separated by ``Host`` and/or
        ``Match`` specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts
        which match the given patterns or keywords

        Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more host-
        specific declarations should be given near the beginning of the file,
        and general defaults at the end.

        The keys in the returned dict are all normalized to lowercase (look for
        ``"port"``, not ``"Port"``. The values are processed according to the
        rules for substitution variable expansion in ``ssh_config``.

        Finally, please see the docs for `SSHConfigDict` for deeper info on
        features such as optional type conversion methods, e.g.::

            conf = my_config.lookup('myhost')
