This utility function allows for free editrule definition in a file. One can extract
only the numerical (type='num'
), only the categorical (type='cat'
) or all
edits (default) in which case an editset
is returned.
The function first parses all assignments in the file, so it is possible to compute or read
a list of categories defining a datamodel for example.
