Right now, we don't. Sadness.

And it looks like we can't do it with just plists. Double sadness.

Had a look at the BBEdit SDK. Basically, we'd have to write a simplified Rust parser (strings, comments, functions, objects) in C. I'll see how much the lack of nesting bothers me, as I'd rather be writing Rust than old Toolbox-style C code. On the plus side, it's nice/scary to see how little that API has moved since I last touched it; there are still Str255s and NewHandle() calls blowing around in there.
