/*
 * Config.h: A heavily-modified version of Conifer2, a configuration
 * file format specification and C parsing library written by Jordan
 * Bancino. This library differs from Conifer2 in that the function
 * naming convention has been updated to be consistent with Telodendria,
 * and the underlying data structures have been overhauled to use the
 * data structure libraries provided by Telodendria.
 *
 * Conifer2 was originally a learning project. It was very thoroughly
 * debugged, however, and the configuration syntax was elegant,
 * certainly more elegant than using JSON for a configuration file,
 * so it was chosen to be the format for Telodendria's configuration
 * file. The original Conifer2 project is now dead; Conifer2 lives on
 * only as Telodendria's Config parsing library.
