if the module declares such properties, they can be accessed
by treating module as a table, e.g.

hints[‘localhost’] = ‘127.0.0.1’
hints.hostname = ‘192.168.1.1.
print(hints.localhost)

equals to:
hints.set(‘localhost 127.0.0.1’)
hints.set(‘hostname 192.168.1.1’)
print(hints.get(‘localhost’))

this makes some services append-only, so the configuration
can look like:

modules = {
   cache = ‘’,
   hints = true,
}

without wiping previously-set modules

example:
modules.hints = ‘{“input”:”/etc/hosts”}’
.. is equal to ..
modules.load(‘hints’)
hints.config(‘{“input”:”/etc/hosts”}’)

The engine is responsible for central managemento of resources and work
distribution. This allows to spawn multiple loops.

The engine configuration / interface is based on Lua 5.1-5.2, including
a RPC and a simple CLI interface. This is going to be the core of configuration
later on.
