At a glance, it looks like it would be a nice improvement over JSON with
the ability to still just provide json. Haven't had any practical
experience with it though (e.g. does it work as advertised).
Looks like they recommend ".conf" as the suffix
<snip>The JSON superset is called "Human-Optimized Config Object
Notation" or HOCON, and files use the suffix .conf.</snip>

HOCON is a superset of JSON that makes it easier for humans to edit JSON files.
For example, it supports multi-line strings, file inclusion, comments.
Should Calcite support HOCON in addition to strict JSON for model files any
other config files? What should be the suffix of such files?
