This is a matter of taste. If you configuration is repetitive, why
not? The only downside I see is (and I guess the reason why some
people object), guessing the time to read a config becomes a np-hard
problem, but in practice just limit it with some cap to pcall and call
it broken, if it doesn't complete in n cycles. I for one explicitly
appreciated the possibility to do loops in the config when I switched
Lsyncd's configuration from XML to Lua.
