I want more than what you're suggesting.  What I want is a syntax for saying
within the comments of whatever config file I'm using (with asterisk they
start with ;, with bash they start with #, etc) that I want to substitute A
with B.  I don't want to have to change an external script when A or B
changes.  I think it's much cleaner to put the operator right next to the
thing you're operating on.
