*bows*, yay! I've discovered that I can hold them all in memory while
actively working on the config, but coming back to it after a few months can
be hairy ("what's acl_m7, again?). Custom names will be handy. How will
they be named? acl_m_foo, acl_c_bar? Or will they be more freeform names
that need the scope declared?
What do you think of the hash/array variable idea? I suppose unlimited custom
names would^Wmight work in this instance, but in some instances hashes are
cleaner.
I changed would to might, because I'm supposing there will be character
restrictions on the names, still...(i.e. can a variable name contain a @?
What about an =? }? Will there be functions to escape/unescape things?)
Again, hashes seem cleaner as they would (probably, this is an assumption)
not have to be as restricted.
