hcid can have some standard indentation style but it can also support
the "--marcel-style" flag for your personal formating preferences. ;)

"Plain text files" and "DBus interface" do not exclude each other. It
would be great to have them both, because they serve different pruposes:

Plain text files are great for admins, debugging, diagnostics etc.

DBus is great for system tools, Gnome, KDE etc. Besides, the DBus
interfaces provide a lot more services than just maintaining files.

Agreed. But storage abstraction does not implicate storage obfuscation,
does it? :)
