Letʼs be fair: unlike a certain other file format ending in 'ML', this
one is not going to cause you to spend hours staring at a screen until
you find the one spot where thereʼs a space too many, causing your
network interfaces not to come up, so that your only access is an
80x24 grey on dark black terminal implemented in java, without
scrollback [1][2]
But it probably has other failure modes.

Footnotes:
[1] Any resemblance to any real persons or events is purely coincidental.
[2] And of course, the resulting syntax is 'legal', so the parser
doesnʼt complain about it.
