I would say that you should go ahead and that things will be adapted "fairly smoothly" (famous last words) when pybids relies on the schema for indexing. feel free to...

Should probably make mention of this: https://github.com/bbuchsbaum/bidser

Is that still an issue? Seems that doc is now deployed by GH actions but the latest doc version says 0.13.2.

Thanks for the PR and joining me in the "joyful" process of editing those config file manually. So I think the assumption is partly right. The config can help parse...

Yeah I am having some thoughts to maybe move towards using configurations for bids matlab so that would be useful for that reason too.

@GalBenZvi If you want to look at the tests for new configs on bids examples datasets https://github.com/bids-standard/pybids/blob/fd903a14954ee741f540eea56771030534ccd311/bids/layout/tests/test_path_building.py#L52 https://github.com/bids-standard/pybids/blob/fd903a14954ee741f540eea56771030534ccd311/bids/layout/tests/test_layout_on_examples.py#L12

here is how the "skipping of non covered entities" is done in another test https://github.com/bids-standard/pybids/blob/fd903a14954ee741f540eea56771030534ccd311/bids/layout/tests/test_path_building.py#L81
