We could use an almost syntax-less language with lots of structuring
parentheses (LOSP for short). And weʼd have to call the file
'please-pwn-my-Emacs.el'

Seriously, having files popping up safe-variable warnings is scary
enough already, do we really need to complicate things by adding
yet-another not-quite-lisp syntax? Is the support for `eval' in
.dir-locals.el not enough?
