Um, sure there is: unstructured text, which is exactly what Python does.
And contrary to Steve Barnes' comments, Python doesn't discard comments
when reading and writing text files, because it has no concept of a
generic "text file comment". It's all just text, regardless of whether
the text includes "#" or "{...}" or "--" or "REM" or ";" or "/* ... */".
