Research direction

Start with the linked pull request #27 diff and the current Config type representation. Review how the config entries' context is parameterized, then determine whether a redesigned Config type should replace the long tuple. Done means an agreed design and corresponding representation, but the issue does not specify the affected files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Concerning this change and a possible redesign of the Config type(s):

https://github.com/fmidue/prolog-programming-task/pull/27/files/8b53ffe586ceae3cd0ca077638de1921663691a5#diff-ea809b9bcfc813e714640e02fff836ae22d79f4a619ac60976acf8699688d8ed

Prior discussion:

Does the parameterization over m (instead of directly using Maybe) serve any purpose?

I thought we could maybe build on this to replace the current representation of the config (which is just a long tuple). But I haven't tried that yet.
