to throw a spaniard in the works (never was good at mangling metaphors)
i use XML to store midi patches and configs.  as a human never edits
them directly (the pre-existing library does that) it was a good choice.
i considerered an ndb approach, and S-expressions, but i like what i got.

i could have invented a file format and implemented it but i chose not to.

you wouldn't want to read or write any configuration for something
with a thousand params  but programs do it fine.
