------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Our existing macros work well when we only have a few configuration
 objects, but they are fiddly to set up, and they involve redundant
 declarations of a C structure and a configuration table of config_var_t[].
 Further, they rely on some questionable tricks (see conftesting.h).

 Instead, we should have a better way to generate configuration structures
 and tables from a single definition.
