#"#" introduces comment to end of line. Objects are separated
#by blank lines. Each object is of the form:

# <OBJECT NAME>
# [$<PRINT NAME>]
# [:<GEDCOM TAG> ['string']<VALUE CODE>]
# ?<HELP TEXT>
# <OBJECT NAME>* #sub-objects
#
#[] => optional, * => 0 or more
#Print name defaults to object name.
#Tag implies sub-objects are at level n+1, no tag => level n.
#Special tag "*" means "any valid tag" (in user tag context)
#
#Value code:
#N none
#S string
#X escape to auxillary processing p27
#@ cross-ref.
