Configuration Language Organised (by) Dots
==========================================

Clod is a simple dotted configuration language where configuration files
contain key/value pairs.  Each key is entered into a dotted heirarchy such that
the application using Clod can query groups of elements, iterate pairs, etc.

An example Clod configuration file might be:

    -------8<--------
    project.name "Clod"
    project.description "Configuration language Organised (by) Dots"
    project.head "refs/heads/master"
    
    cia.project "lua-clod"
    
    commit.maillist "clod-commits@gitano.org.uk"
    commit.devlist "clod-dev@gitano.org.uk"
    -------8<--------

Note that blank lines are permitted, but otherwise there is no supported
comment syntax.  Since Clod files are interpreted as Lua files by the current
Clod implementation, you *can* make comments of the form `-- this is a comment`
however this is not guaranteed and cannot be maintained by the library if you
use Clod's ability to rewrite configuration files.
