Yeah, that's essentially what I've got.  The only difference being that in
my case "usually" user's shouldn't need to know that they are using a
programming language.  Which is why using a declarative language sounds so
nice.  I'll have to explain to users the difference between "actions" and
"definitions", but that shouldn't be too hard as long as users don't
realize they are programming!  :)  Declarative statements are how you'd
normally expect an input file to behave (i.e. the order doesn't matter).
