 In some cases, most of the code deals with printing correctly to a file, and it could be simplified a lot by using a basic template instead of zillions of print statements.
 For instance, the accounts component could do.
+For instance, the accounts component could do the following to fully generate /etc/passwd:
 {{{
 …
 my $tpl = Template->new();
 $tpl->process(\*DATA, $tree, $fh);
+$fh->close();
 __DATA__
 …
 }}}
+The advantage in some sitiations is that the representation is completely isolated from the logic that will generate it. And it may allow for a closer correspondency with the schema, if wanted.
+The code would thus only choose what accounts are valid or invalid in the system.

 Sometimes one template won't be enough: there will be several files of several types to print (f.i, nagios-related configuration). We still have to see how to ship different templates.
