gollark: Say, wd0gibsoc, how would you like... STRICTYAML? https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/
gollark: Anyway, I think this has some reasonable points, but still prefer typed-ish config.
gollark: I fear that if you try and make stuff smart and infer what the user wants from a string without much information, you could end up with, say, YAML.
