+# This example reads an lisp-esque syntax configuration
+# file to make it easier for non-programmers to use
+# Blueshift. It will read a file with the same pathname
+# just with ‘.conf’ appended (‘lisp-esque.conf’ in this
+# case.) However, if the filename of this file ends with
+# with ‘rc’, that part will be removed, for example, if
+# you rename this script to ‘~/.blueshiftrc’ it will read
+# ‘~/.blueshift.conf’ rather than ‘~/.blueshiftrc.conf’.
