 * enums, optionals, selections, empties
 *
 *
 *==============================================
 * 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
