-	// Order of the main sections:
-	// goal, actions, tactics, strategies, parameters. 
-	// the parameters section is optional, see below.
-	// Reason for this order is logical succession. Actions are used in tactics, tactics in strategies, etc.
-
-	// General considerations:
-	// 'xyz:' starts a new section. Examples: goal:, strategies:
-	// ':' is followed by a list of elements. Example: action1 [optional.id] {}, action2 ...
-	// '{}' is like a 'constructor' like the 'new' keyword in Java
-	// '=' is an assignment of a value or a list of values to a property
-	// '()' contains a list of values that belong together. If there is only one value, the brackets are optional
