    -----
    A :class:`ConfigLoader` does one thing: load a config from a source 
    (file, command line arguments) and returns the data as a :class:`Struct`.
    There are lots of things that :class:`ConfigLoader` does not do.  It does
    not implement complex logic for finding config files.  It does not handle
    default values or merge multiple configs.  These things need to be 
    handled elsewhere.
