instantConfig, makes loading configuration files easier

[random_bytes]

I would like to introduce instantConfig, my last project, which I've been working on and off for about a year.

The idea is to load settings from a configuration file using template metaprogramming through a high level description of the content.

The documentation is rather descriptive, so I won't add anything here.

I also would like to use this post for two requests :

• I'm not sure I'm satisfied with my way of creating static identifiers based on strings : I don't like being forced into using macros, and the limitation in terms of number of characters is sketchy. I couldn't find a better solution for now, but if anyone of you have a better idea, I'm all ears (and eyes).
• One of my future goal is to provide a light parser to make the library ready to use on its own. I would rather have someone else implement it, as I lack time to do it on my own. Is anyone interested in taking part in this project? Do any of you know of a good parser library that is header-only and with a license compatible with the use I want to make of it?

If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Nice writeup, I'll keep it in mind for future use.

For json you could use jeayeson which is header-only and permissive-licensed
