        Some applications don’t have enough config entries to warrant support for nested entries

        Some applications need variable-length data, and some even variable-length lists

        Some applications don’t care about having fast read/write times or a small memory footprint and can do with more complex formats that require the use of third-party libraries

        Some embedded applications (e.g. AVR) don’t have access to a whole lot of libraries
