## Inspired by
Both syntax and usage didn't come out of thin air. There's lots of prior art
and things PMD tries to be compatible with to some extend:
* Standard field names mostly come from the Debian packaging spec.
* Standard field names mostly come from the [Debian packaging spec](https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#document-ch-controlfields).
Which is sort of a standard already. (No need for NIH field names.)
* One of the few things Wordpress got right (almost). They've been using
(or rather inherited) a similar comment-based plugin description scheme.
* Except for the abhorrent spaced key names, and not knowing what else to do with it.
* Most WP plugins have to define config hooks/settings/handling themselves
