That was how I interpreted this (but I didn’t say “in general”):
If N versions of the format express the same data (deserialize into the same structure) then it doesn't really matter from a functional way which they pick.
To clarify my point, if you’re using TOML, presumably you want to be able to format things nicely by hand because that’s the whole point of TOML. If you don’t need to do that, just use JSON. So I don’t see a whole lot of value in a tool for serialising data into boilerplate TOML (or YAML, etc).
>presumably you want to be able to format things nicely by hand because that’s the whole point of TOML.
For me the whole point of TOML is as a stricter, saner, YAML-type (human readable that is) config first, and a format used in several places, including upcoming Python standards, second.
Couldn't care less about formatting things nicely by hand.
