The existing corset tool had a notion of a compilation template where it would be given a directory and would compile specific files within this directory. Specifically, when given a directory to compile, the original tool considers each of these sections separately:

• columns
• constraints
• constants
• lookups

When considering a section section, the tool first looks for a file section.lisp. If that file exists, its included. Otherwise, it looks for a directory section and then includes all files within this directory. However, it does not recurse any further subdirectories of that section.
