For clarity, discrete parsing and easier line oriented
debug and error printing, try to recommend people not use
such multiple things all mashed into one single line
config syntax, and also avoid use of "noise", "english",
and "punctuation".

Single line is also very hard for external constructors
and parsers to deal with. And seems more work to
maintain all this internally.

Have seen local users trying to concoct, share,
teach, and cut / paste all sorts of random broken
configs because of "noise", "english", "punctuation"
and similar syntax and format "features", instead of
using some standard technical config file like any other
program on the net.
And having more than one format for configs does not help.
