+1 for moving Koha config out of zebra config file
+1 for not using XML

As for the TOML vs YAML debate, I don't really have a horse in the race.  The
YAML support in Perl seems to have reached a suitable level of maturity so I
feel it's a fairly safe bet really.. but I can understand some of the issues
Julian presents.  TOML is certainly a bit simpler in scope, and we shouldn't
really be using the full scope of YAML in our configs anyway really so I'd
suggest we shouldn't really be falling into many of the traps it presents.. How
mature is the TOML support in perl... I note David looked at the TOML module
(which is pure perl) and hasn't been updated since 2016.. does that mean it's
perfect or it's just not maintained?  There's also a recent TOML::XS module on
cpan.. but will this get packaged and is it likely to be around for a while and
maintained.

Either way.. I think the splitting out of Zebra config from the config file is
a great first step.
