@structure {Object} Root
	@property {null|InterfaceText} [description]
	@property {Object} params Contains all parameters.
	 Keyed by parameter name, contains #Param objects.
	@property {Array} sets List of groups of parameters that should be used
	 together. A parameter can be in multiple sets. Not every parameter has to be
	 in a set. The array contains #Set objects.

@structure {Object} Param
	@property {null|InterfaceText} [label] Defaults to key of object in `Root.params`.
	@property {boolean} [required=false]
	@property {null|InterfaceText} [description]
	@property {boolean|string} [deprecated=false] Tooltip for the user detailing
	 the intent for the deprecated parameters.
	@property {Array} [aliases] List of aliases.
	 An alias is an alternative name for the parameter that may be used instead of
	 (not in addition to) the primary name. Aliases are not documented in a
	 separate Param object. If they need more information, they should be in their
	 own property marked "deprecated".
	@property {string} [default] The default value or description thereof.
	@property {Type} [type] The type of the expected parameter value.
	@property {string} [inherits] Key to another object in `Root.params`.
	 The current Param object will inherit from that one, with local properties
	 overriding the inherited ones.

@structure {Object} Set
	@property {InterfaceText} label Label of this set.
	@property {Array} params A subset of the parameter's names that belong to this set.

@structure {string} Type
	One of the following:
	- unknown
	  When no type is specified.
	- string
	  Any textual value.
	- number
	  Any numerical value (without decimal points or thousand separators).
	- string/wiki-page-name
	  A valid MediaWiki page name for the current wiki. Doesn't have to exist,
	  but if not, should be a valid page name to create.
	- string/wiki-user-name
	  A valid MediaWiki user name for the current wiki. Doesn't have to exist,
	  but if not should be a valid user name to create.
	- string/line
	  Short text field - use for names, labels, and other short-form fields.

@structure {string|Object} InterfaceText
	A free-form string (no wikitext) in the content-language of the wiki, or,
	an object containing those strings keyed by language code.
