--  Custom Options Definition Table format
--  NOTES:
--  - using an enumerated table lets you specify the options order

--
--  These keywords must be lowercase for LuaParser to read them.
--
--  key:      the string used in the script.txt
--  name:     the displayed name
--  desc:     the description (could be used as a tooltip)
--  type:     the option type ('list','string','number','bool')
--  def:      the default value
--  min:      minimum value for number options
--  max:      maximum value for number options
--  step:     quantization step, aligned to the def value
--  maxlen:   the maximum string length for string options
--  items:    array of item strings for list options
--  section:  so lobbies can order options in categories/panels
--  scope:    'all', 'player', 'team', 'allyteam'      <<< not supported yet >>>
