That way lies featuritis, IMO.
If there were already a library in ths stock Python distribution to digest
.Xdefaults files I might consider this. Perhaps I'll write one. But I'm

The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and
wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and
court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates
that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen
to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.
