I think a library for configuration-file parsing would be quite useful. There are may use cases where an embedded scripting language is best, but I think there are also many for which a dedicated configuration-file-parsing library is superior.
Hello again, Hal! One of the features of Configurator is semantics check. I understand that semantics check is not a mandatory featureof such library, but I check "standard values" only. IPv4, IPv6, email, path (in current filesystem) - it is "global and immutable concepts". Imho, checking these values at the time of parsing the configuration file is very useful. Check the extended semantics ('time period' and 'size') was added because I use it myself ('size' for max size of log file, and 'time period' for different periodic thread tasks).Perhaps it will be useful not only for me... :-) What do you think about it?
