An Overview
-----------

UCG is a language specialized for generating configurations. It does not have classes,
inheritance,  closures, or a full type system. All values are immutable once bound to
a name. A valid UCG file is composed of a series of statements. Statements can be
an expression, introduce named bindings, or create different outputs. All statements
must be terminiated by a semicolon.

Some words are reserved in UCG and can not be used as a named binding.
