/// particular version of the schema being used.  Depending on such version, the
/// layout of the internal tree representation needs to be different.
///
/// A parser implementation must provide a setup() method to set up the
/// configuration schema based on the particular combination of syntax format
/// and version specified on the file.
///
/// Parser objects are not supposed to be reused, and specific trees are not
/// supposed to be passed to multiple parsers (even if sequentially).  Doing so
/// will cause all kinds of inconsistencies in the managed tree itself or in the
/// Lua state.
