+Poor Man's Configurator. Probably a terrible idea. Example usage:

+this will first run config/override_file.py, then override batch_size to 32
+
+The code in this file will be run as follows from e.g. train.py:
+>>> exec(open('configurator.py').read())
+
+So it's not a Python module, it's just shuttling this code away from train.py
+The code in this script then overrides the globals()

+I know people are not going to love this, I just really dislike configuration
+complexity and having to prepend config. to every single variable. If someone
