To me, one of the biggest problems with weird file formats is that every single problem has to be solved again, just for that. Not only that but once a solution has been created, it is probably the only option (instead of one of a dozen) because it is so much harder to do the combination of both $DESIRED_FEATURE and $PARSE_FILE, not to mention $DEBUG_QUIRKS.
