I personally prefer SDL when it comes to nested data, but
yeah, that would work as well.
The point I was making is to just have 1 format. With dud that
should be possible.
For me the argument is that SDL and TOML are intended for
human's to write configuration scripts, whilst XML and JSON are
intended for computers to send data to other computers.
A win-win move would be to have dud emit the other formats
automatically as part of the compilation procedure, so to have
always all of them present and synced on the content.
It shouldn't be too much difficult, and maybe it's a cleaver way
to move on from discussions about different formats.
