 * Consider adding optional elements:
 *
 *         sformat_new_optional (gpointer content)
 *
 * enums, optionals, selections, empties
 *
 *
 * Other things:
 *
 *	"selections" - when several different types are possible - would need lambda transitions in and out
 *
 *      ability to allow 'ignored' elements that are simply skipped at parse time. This could become important
 *      for future-proofing files.
 *
 * unions maybe?
 *
 *
 *
 *
 *==============================================
 * Also think about versioning - apps will want to be able to read and write
 * different versions of the format, and they want to be able to sniff the
 * format + version
 *
 * The version should be part of the format. There should be a
 * const char *sfile_sniff (const filename);
 * that will return NULL (+ error) if the file can't be parsed
