Research direction

Start by reviewing config-rs's existing configuration-format integrations and the linked Rust implementation of Dhall. Determine how Dhall could fit the library's configuration loading model, then verify support using the example shown in the issue and appropriate format-integration tests. Done means Dhall configuration can be loaded successfully without regressing existing formats.
