Current state of configuration in Elixir is a little bit problematic. There
is idea for adding config providers directly to core, but IMHO the Erlang's
approach with sys.config isn't that bad when you get a little bit used to
it. So my problem is that right now some Elixir libraries "pollute" that
file with compile-time only values (most important violators are
Phoenix.Endpoint and mime application). What would be useful to either have
a way to determine in `config/config.exs` whether it is compilation step or
runtime, or to provide separate file with configuration-only values. The
first option seems to be much more flexible as we can easily achieve that
by using `if compilation?, do: import_config("compile-time.exs")`.
What are your opinions on this?
