+         - Parameter isClient: Enables additional checks for client configurations.
          - Parameter passphrase: The optional passphrase for encrypted data.
          - Parameter originalURL: The optional original URL of the configuration file.
          - Parameter returnsStripped: When `true`, stores the stripped file into `Result.strippedLines`. Defaults to `false`.
          - Returns: The `Result` outcome of the parsing.
          - Throws: `ConfigurationError` if the configuration file is wrong or incomplete.
