Well, I wouldn't call it great (maybe groovy) ... :) ... but we seem to have
some convergence here. If there's anything we can do to merge our efforts,
I'm for it (though I unfortunately don't have a lot of time to give, just
pockets here and there).

Do you think there's a need for a separate XmlConfigFile lib? I don't have
an opinion myself, I haven't mulled it over at all. Is there anything
missing from my serialization lib (well, there definitely is in general, but
as relates to a conf file)? Does your approach have advantages in some
cases?

YAML gets more traffic here then XML does -- maybe a generic
Conf/Serialization lib that could use either XML or YAML might be in order.
I dunno, just typing out loud.
