It's as consistent as what we have, IMO, not more. It's
as readable as what we have. Why is it more extensible?
Until bash has double-dimensional arrays, any way will
be just a work around. The same is true about parsing.
Sorry I'm not being constructive ;-). If we start
implementing this, something else in the sorcery will
be backlogged. Internally, it's possible to even take
older DETAILS and convert it into this representation,
so that two versions can coexist, but is this the most
necessary addition to out feature list?
