' ====================================================================================
'    CONFIGURATION FILE STRUCTURE SYNTAX
' ====================================================================================
'
'    Whitepace is always allowed. This includes spaces, tabs
'    linefeeds (10) and carriage returns (13)
'
'    Keys may not have spaces or assignment operator = in them.
'
'    Comments start with // (unless used within strings)
'    and count as comment for the rest of the line. Or use /* and */				/*
'    to mark the beginning and end of a comment.
'
'    Simple setting:
'
'              key = value;
'
'    Example:  speed = 345;
'              cars = 8;
'
'    Strings must be in quotes.
'
'    Example:  nickname = "Gherkin";
'              altnick = "Gherk inn";
'
'    String Escape Sequences:
'        \n    New line (10)
'        \r    Carriage return (13)
'        \t    Tab (9)
'        \"    Double-quotation mark
'        \\    Backslash
'        \000  Any ASCII character (MUST be 3 digits! So for 13 you use \013)
'
'    Decimals ALWAYS use a dot, NEVER comma!
'
'    Example:  pressure = 15.29;
'              acceleration = 1.0023;
'
'    true, false and null are valid keywords.
'    null values can be left out.
'
'    In this example, both items are null.
'    Example:  myitem = null;
'              myotheritem;
'
'    Structures must use brackets.
'
'    Structure Example:
'
'              key
'              {
'                   key = value;
'                   key = value;
'
'                   key
'                   {
'                        key = value;
'                        key = value;
'                        key = value;
'                   }
'
'                   key = value;
'                   key = value;
'                   key = value;
'                   key = value;
'                   key = value;
'              }
'
'    As you can see, structures inside structures are allowed
'    and you may go as deep as you want. Note that only the root structures
'    can be readed from config using ReadSetting. ReadSetting will return a
'    Dictionary object containing everything in that root structure.
'
'    Key names must be unique within their scope.
'
'    This is NOT allowed, it may not have 'father' more
'    than once in the same scope:
'
'              mother = 45;
'              father = 52;
'
'              father
'              {
'                   length = 1.87;
'              }
'
'    This however is allowed, because father
'    now exists in a different scope:
'
'              mother = 45;
'              father = 52;
'
'              parents
'              {
'                   father = 52;
'              }
'
'    This too is allowed, both 'age' are in a different scope:
'
'              mother
'              {
'                   age = 45;
'              }
'
'              father
'              {
'                   age = 52;
'              }
