Azure-sdk-for-net: ConnectionStrings support in CloudConfigurationManager

[cannehag]

We are using CloudConfigurationManager in our webjobs to access the hosting sites app settings. Is there any reason why the connectionstrings settings is not exposed in CloudConfigurationManager?

This is outside the scope of cloud configuration manager. Please see the azure websites documentation for information on hpw to access application settings.

I don't really agree on the answer. Connectionstrings and AppSettings are the same kind of configuration that you would expect to be accessible via the CloudConfigurationManager class. I know how to access them, but I would rather see the same approach for them.
Why are they outside the scope ?
