Yes, but you're assuming managing configuration modules in monolithic
Emacs Lisp is the best way. Give us something simple and easy to manage
the loop at the filesystem level, so we don't have to write it
ourselves.

For me it works better. I like small files; outline-minor-mode and
folding-mode don't work for me. I suspect I'm not the only one. See
the URLs above for a list of similar needs.
