Parinfer layer fucks up existing files

[NightMachinery]

Description :octocat:

I just enabled parinfer layer, and was editing my spacemacs dotfile to add my personal parinfer's settings. When I restarted Emacs to test parinfer, Emacs told me my .spacemacs file was corrupt. I used git to revert the changes, and they were extremely intrusive, bad changes with NO warnings. I am posting the diff. Note that I had not done anything except add parinfer to the layers list and SPC f e r.
