Additional system boot parameters can be managed also by a single file.
The file format will trigger specific parsing efforts.

* Linux functions are provided for the handling of available information.

* I imagine that another software library will become helpful
besides the file interface.
Will further bindings evolve for various programming languages?

* How do you think about to work with a higher level file system?
Would you like to increase the granularity for corresponding
data accesses (by user-space processes)?
