Hey Bill C., that is a great idea.   :-)
I suggest inclusion of a version number at the top of the file.
If elyxer ever needs to change the interpretation of the file:
- It invents a new syntax with a corresponding new verion number.
- When reading the file it uses the version number to guide interpretation.
- It should continue to support old versions for the foreseeable future.
