the 'add members' is n+1 elements in the structure
just another space or tab and a number
not a different location, just 'next'
old parser code wouldnt touch it, and wont be broken
new parser code would read n+1 data and use it

i dont see a complexity like a database being needed
just my opine
and the code to read the n+1 'th element is trivial
as seen in the example code
we can make this as painful as desired ;-)
add bison & flex scripts and sqlite as a pre-req
sorry, i'll just plod along the simple path
