Maybe you can come up with some example in current syntax? I have browsed some projects with a lot of resource definitions. sometimes it has 3-4 levels of nesting, and I have hard time understanding the structure - so maybe it is possible to simplify those according to this syntax. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
