Yeah, I think we saw this discussed in not-so-distant past, for which we want a good solution, and it might be the case that such a solution can be made easier to use with a separate configuration file (which this topic may or may not be used as a building block). > So then I think your config file primarily becomes about defining the > properties of each run.
