Shouldn't this be true of writing it too? Like I said on irc
earlier today, I actually kinda think we should have some kind
of gui for it, or at least a command suite (like `dub
add-dependency foo` maybe, idk) so the file itself never needs
to be touched directly by users for common tasks.
While having a GUI might be nice, we're talking about a config
file here. This is exactly the sort of thing that's normally
edited by hand. It should be both writable and readable by both
programmers and programs.
