Yes, maybe 'median' complexity since there are always pathological
cases, as long as there are pathological programmers ;)

At least Lua does not need to drop to a primitive semi-language (like
the C preprocessor) to express conditional evaluation. A mixture of
the imperative and the declarative?

Apparently people like if-statements - but then is it a _configuration_ format?
