    It will considerably complicate things to add a way to define
    seddery.  Let us leave that to a future extension.
    
    That suggests that `manual' should become `file:'.
    
    As for delimiters

    It will make writing a parser easier if each entry is a single line
    with the fields in a defined order and if we can say that a `repo:'
    must precede every `file:' that mentions it.

Version 2 on its way, sometimes next week
