I see no blindness ;). It is quite normal that it takes time for
humans' thoughts to synchronize given the path
thoughts_1 --> language --> thoughts_2
f() g()
where f() and g() are very complicated functions not well known
yet.
We can be happy when it happens at all. But I digress.

Thanks for the encouragement :)

I agree with the ad-hoc-ish character of the format. It merely
serves as a way of illustrating concrete examples.

I get it now. Personally, I am all in favor of files using Tom's
lisp-like extension languague. Each top-level list could define a
group of attributes such as
(colors
(foo red)
...)
(permissions
(...)
...)
...
I might get "killed" for this though.
Thanks taking the time,
