Almost. But it doesn't parse/de-parse the configuration, it simply
normalizes .includes, normalizes leading whitespace, probably removes
trailing whitespaces, I'm not sure anymore about continuation lines.

It was meant as a helper to understand complex configurations that are
built from a multitude of includes and conditionals.

I understand this, but we can't do that yet and there are no plans yet to
implement it.
