Because using XML, YAML, or INI files robs me of the occasional #map,
for instance, as shown in my example.  The whole point is that I
*don't* want configuration files that are little more than key/value
pairs.  Even if that was the case at the beginning of the project,
eventually it becomes too restrictive as the project grows.
