It would be very nice, and very intuitive. How hard would it be to just provide that one simple construct ("if <config item related condition> {}") during parsing of the startup config?
Extremely difficult, unfortunately. The problem is that the config assignments are static: "foo = bar". The variable "foo" in a module gets given value "bar". Changing that to *dynamic* variables means that every single assignment has to be wrapped with "process language stuff". That's hard.
No need for the whole of unlang. More of an 'ifdef' style pre-processing directive than an integrated part of the language.
It's much easier to integrate everything, honestly. Alan DeKok.
