This adds a ton of complexity to the code and its usage. This also means that identical lines will be allowed provided that they have the same namevar. - -I have to do this dirty pre-line stuff for user_spec. - I had considered requiring uniqueness for the user-spec - this does when considering that an alias can also be a user spec user, this violates uniqueness. - -- cgit v1.2.3
