If anyone's getting into `nginx` look into
[`nginxinc/crossplane`](https://github.com/nginxinc/crossplane?tab=readme-ov-file#reliable-and-fast-nginx-configuration-file-parser-and-builder).
That parser is particularly good if you're trying to analyze or do sophisticated

this one installed in my playground, here's a quick and dirty demo:
