I already use `config' (that precise identifier) a lot in my things,
so please do not even _think_ using it for something else! :-) :-)

For small projects, such a thing might be overkill.  For big projects,
there are a few (maybe many) avenues and ways how to achieve this sharing,
and I'm glad having the freedom of installing subtle nuances between
projects, as needed.  That is, I would fear a bit being pulled in an
arbitrary direction: it would have to be convincingly damned good. :-)

Better, maybe, would be to merely document some of the possible avenues.
Most of these require only a tiny investment in lines of code anyway.
