Pkl as a dotfiles manager?

[0x4D5352]

I've been playing around with pkl since the announcement both at work and in my own side projects, and can see a lot of potential in having a one-size-fits-all style solution for deployment configs of any given environment.

One project that seems really appealing has been reworking my shell configurations into a package that can deploy the same or similar aliases, themes, and other ergonomics that I currently manage between a dozen different files and formats. Rebuilding the yaml/toml files is straightforward, but building out a .bash_aliases or .zshrc seems to be a bit harder to figure out.

Ideally, I could abstract them out to aliases.pkl and shellrc.pkl and build out templates for different hosts; zsh.pkl, bash.pkl, nushell.pkl, etc. But solving the renderer issue is the first order problem I'm looking to tackle.
