	But the whole point of reading in a configuration file is to
populate configuration data structures.  YOu're not REALLY keeping
that .foorc file around in RAM-- it just sets environment variables
and so forth.  

	The task of reading in configuration data does not map onto
editing of arbitrary-length files.
