I would suggest that this is not a requirement, but an option. If no
such metadata is present for a config file, then the current approach
is used. If it is present, the additional intelligence is used.
So the metadata could be added gradually, and selectively:
- For those config files that have changed since the last stable release.
- For those config files that users tend to change.
- For those config files that have a comment format that can be
described by our comment metadata.
