  // Note that the utility functions in this file are part of the build system
  // core rather than the config module. They define the basic configuration
  // semantics that should be applicable to both transient configurations as
  // well as to other implementations of configuration persistence.
  //
  // The only persistence-specific aspects of this functionality are marking
  // of the variables as to be persisted (saved, potentially with flags),
  // establishing the module saving order (priority), and configuration
  // creation (the create meta-operation implementation) These are accessed
  // through the config module entry points (which are NULL for transient
  // configurations). Note also that the exact interpretation of the save
  // flags and module order depends on the config module implementation (which
  // may ignore them as not applicable). An implementation may also define
  // custom save flags (for example, accessible through the config.save
  // attribute). Such flags should start from 0x100000000.
