Yes, the implementation is easy. Brltty doesn't implement each option
separately in long, strung-out code - it has an option table that is iterated
over.

Yes, I guess it does. It seems that you're parsing debug logs. I see that
approach as being a bit risky for at least two reasons. One is that it's easy
for a developer to think that it's safe to change a debug log, e.g. to make it
more informative. The other is that it's conceivable that those logs might be
localized at some point. Anyway, it works for now, and can always be made more
robust later.

By the way: The configuration file - which defaults to /etc/brltty.conf but can
be specified - also supports include.

I'm running 28.

That'd help, but, as with a lot of things, if Google searches lead one to other
places then it's still frustrating. I'm not sure what the best answer is, but
some way to make this really easy to discover would be very helpful.
