No. It sounds to me like you are arguing for an encryption/decryption
package. Then you could add use of it on certian keys as an option.
That might be a good discussion, but something as involved as
encryption wouldn't belong in a config file package.
Or are you just talking about "password" type data? Most OS's have
special calls to deal with that type of data. I suppose it would be
possible to write some kind of one-way encoding function in Ada.
However, that should still probably be in its own package.
