[Developers] configuration.ccl syntax

[Jonathan Thornburg]

Hi,

I notice that the new configuration.ccl file has a syntax which differs
somewhat from that of interface.ccl files:

interface.ccl has lines of the form
    implements: cat
    inherits:   mammal quadruped
and similarly param.ccl has lines of the form
    public:
    private:

All of these are of the form of a keyword followed by a ':'.
In contrast, configuration.ccl does *not* use the ':':
    requires kitty

What about allowing an optional ':' in the configuration.ccl requires
statement, as in
    requires: kitty
to make this more consistent with interface.ccl?


ciao,
