Yikes, well converting a map's contents to and from xml is going to be
interesting.
If we added an xpath-like api to objdb we could improve the API
enormously and still keep it a tree.
ver = objdb_get_int32("/service/@name=cpg/ver");
objdb_cd("/logging/@subsys=main");
if (objdb_get_bool("to_syslog")) {
//...
}
