Thanks for calling this out. We do want our changes to be good for both
the libification and the non-libification cases as much as possible. As
it is, I do agree that since we won't have callers that can use the new
parser header (I think the likeliest cause of having such a caller is
if we have a "interpret-config" command, like "interpret-trailers"), we
probably shouldn't merge this (at least, the last 2 patches).
I think patches 1-3 are still usable (they make some internals of config
parsing less confusing) but I'm also OK if we hold off on them until
we find a compelling use case that motivates refactoring on the config
parser.
