Ah, no, impedance mismatch. Split configs are easy-- /etc/env.d/ took |

something like two minutes to grasp years ago. |

To clarify, I was more dismayed by the whole "If you want to know the |
| 10 |
configuration run this purpose-built utility that ends up spitting out |
| 11 |
a bunch of text anyway rather than just looking at the files" part. |

If the _only_ way to get the config for something is ever to run a |
| 14 |
specific command specifically tailored for that purpose, then it's |
| 15 |
evidence of a truly shocking and advanced sadism (not to mention a |
| 16 |
complete and utter failure of software engineering as a discipline). |
