XML for this purpose is ugly as well. You can use XML for seldomly used
applications, but not for such important things. Hell, compare "set
antialias=1" with the monster we are talking about - 8..9 times of the
code size. It is already to much for a single boolean value. Where
should all this end? In a 10Ghz machine with DDR5000 RAM, using 90% of
the CPU time to parse the useless metadata?
