rest of the solution (and 'learnings' from those steps) may
(eventually) realise just as many, or even more, of the benefits of 'our
approach' of producing a cohesive overall-design first! Possibly even
more than the benefits we intended in 'our' approach(?).
Unfortunately, it is a difficult adjustment to make (as related), and
there are undoubtedly stories of how the 'fools rush in where angels
fear to tread' approach is but a road to disaster and waste. The 'trick'
is to "cherry pick" from today's affordances and modify our
training/habits and experience to take the best advantages from both...
Hope this helps to explain why you may have misunderstood some
contributions 'here', or felt like arguing-back. Taking a step back or a
'wider' view, as has been attempted here, may show the implicit and
intended value of (many) contributions.
I'll leave you with a quote from Donald Knuth in The Art of Computer
Programming, Volume 1: Fundamental Algorithms (which IIRC was first
published in the late-60s/early-70s): “Premature optimization is the
root of all evil.” So, maybe early-coding/prototyping and later
"optimisation" isn't all bad!

to draw analogies (and in this case, probably get it 100% correct), but
this does not imply a complete equivalence across-the-board

Further, databases have been designed for this sort of partial update
scenario. If/when updates become too frequent, or the file becomes
extensive, recommend you look at using an RDBMS instead of using this
'flat-file' approach...

Should the closing brace be considered part of a conversion or
format-specification? The space (I'd like to add) cannot be considered
part of a conversion or format-specification (see BNF, see text of web.ref)!
(when you compare how long it took me to (speed) type this message, and
how long it took me to figure-out that my 'excess space' was causing a
fault in an f-string, the time-cost was about the same. Grrr! (the
relative frustrations-caused, somewhat different!)
Will be interested in explanations, and improvements to understanding.
(but not so much in 'corrections' to my (mis-)behavior - I already pay
that price!)
If you're operating at the 'bleeding edge', will be interested to hear
how the 'new parser' handles same.
