Yet Another Config Lib, like, what were you expecting?

## Why does this mod even exist?
This mod was made to fill a hole in this area of Fabric modding. The existing main config libraries don't achieve what I want from them:
- **[Cloth Config API](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config)**:
**It's stale.** The developer of cloth has clarified that they are likely not going to add any more features. They don't want to touch it. ([citation](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/43245524/206530322-3ae46008-5356-468e-9a73-63b859364d4e.png))
- **[SpruceUI](https://github.com/LambdAurora/SpruceUI)**:
**It isn't designed for configuration.** In this essence the design feels cluttered. Further details available in [this issue](https://github.com/isXander/Zoomify/issues/85).
- **[MidnightLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/midnightlib)**:
**It has cosmetics among other utilities.** It may not be large but some players (including me) wouldn't want cosmetics out of nowhere.
- **[OwoLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/owo-lib)**:
**It's content focused.** It does a lot of other things as well as config, adding to the size.
As you can see, there's sadly a drawback with all of them and this is where YetAnotherConfigLib comes in.
## How is YACL better?
YACL has the favour of hindsight. Whilst developing this fresh library, I can make sure that it does everything right:
- **Client sided library.** YACL is built for client mods only, making it a smaller size.
- **Easy API.** YACL takes inspiration from [Sodium's](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium) internal configuration library.
- **It's styled to fit in Minecraft.** YACL's GUI is designed to fit right in.
