// Package configurable provides an integration nexus for program and library
// configuration items.
//
// Configurable is a Go library for managing program configuration information,
// no matter whether it comes from command line arguments, configuration files,
// environment variables, or anywhere else.
//
// The most noteworthy feature of configurable is that it doesn't do anything.
// It contains no functionality for examining or parsing command line
// arguments. It doesn't do anything with environment variables. And it
// certainly can't read configuration files.
//
// The purpose of configurable is to act as an [integration
// nexus](http://www.devever.net/~hl/nexuses), essentially a matchmaker between
// application configuration and specific configuration interfaces. This
// creates the important feature that your application's configuration can be
// expressed completely independently of *how* that configuration is loaded.
//
// Configurable doesn't implement any configuration loading logic because it
// strives to be a neutral intermediary, which abstracts the interface between
// configurable items and configurators.
//
// Pursuant to this, package configurable is this and only this: an interface
// Configurable which all configuration items must implement, and a facility
// for registering top-level Configurables and visiting them.
//
// In v1, the Configurable interface has no methods and is thus considered to
// be implemented by anything.
package configurable // import "gopkg.in/hlandau/configurable.v1"

// Configurable is the interface which must be implemented by any configuration
// item to be used with package configurable. In the current version, v1, it
// contains no methods and is thus satisfied by anything. All functionality
// must be obtained via interface upgrades.

	configurables = append(configurables, configurable)

// that error.
