For me, this is a pure syntax breakage, and it is far easier to fix it
than to make the library accept it.

The parsing part of my library is 80% done. I think I will release it as
soon as it becomes more stable. I will provide you with a little
demonstration proof-of-concept program (my current test program).
Given that, I think it would take us about 1 or 2 days to write config.

Yes

My test program proves that this can be done automatically.

Agreed.
