The JSON hiccup occured to me - I don't have any JSON dotfiles but I guess I'd store it as hjson (https://hjson.github.io/) and add a conversion step.

Symlinking a directory - admittedly didn't come up for my dotfiles, maybe `.ln` files with a similar format in dir roots.

Commands - yes, I still keep a set of shell scripts alongside my config files.

Huh. Seems like an interesting alternative to JSONC.
