# example config format

# this is a working draft of things that are valid in a new config language to
# replace json as a config language for Go projects.
#
# comments are a thing now!
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# the whole document is implicitly a namespace, so you can set key value pairs
# at the top level.

# items can be hidden.  i.e., they're only valid in the parse and eval stage as
# intermediate values internal to the config file; they are *not* visible to
# the host program.  This is generally useful for composing larger, more
# complicated things.
