## Comments
* The default loader will accept either list or dictionary form as input. This parameter controls internal
representation and output.
* A keyed or identified class with one additional slot can be input in a third form, a dictionary whose key
is the key or identifier and whose value is the one additional element. This form is still stored according
to the inlined_as_list setting.
