Which format do we like more?
[
    foo = bar
    baz = blah
]
vs
[
    %FOO%
    bar
%BAZ%
    blah
]
And try not to think about where/when bash and python and things like
that need this data - that's a non-issue as we can always write helper
utils using libalpm's parsing if it becomes really hard for things
like, say, namcap.
+1 for the first format.
I looks better IMO + it i s easier to work with bash, sed, grep etc.
