Module GobConfig

New, untyped, path-based configuration subsystem.

path' ::== \epsilon              (*  *)
         | . <field-name> path'  (* field access *)
         | [ <index-nr> ] path'  (* array index access *)
         | [ + ] path'           (* cons to array *)
         | [ - ] path'           (* cons away from array *)
         | [ * ] path'           (* reset array *)

path ::==              path'     (*  *)
        | <field_name> path'     (* you can leave out the first dot *)

All functions failwith on error. Warnings are generated in verbose mode.

There is a "conf" trace option that traces setting.
