... I like to understand roughly how things work (w/o always having to read 
the sources). 

... I possibly want to remove the tool.

... I want to double-check the output of the tool when it produces 
inconsistent output or crashes.

(... I didn't read the documentation about that) ;-)

--> This was just thought as some sort of background information hint about 
where this information is actually stored. Especially because it's stored 
human-readable.
