no, not exactly - that would be sufficient on a file where I could set
the anchors beforehand - but than it would be already a template ;-)
A "simple"
insert_line_<before|after>(filename, anchor-regex, <line|block>-to_insert)
would help...

Even further down the road - is there maybe a technique for
yaml files on the horizon?
One use-case here would be to automate the injection of new
monitoring targets into my prometheus config
(though that might be better done in a propper plugin,
haven't had the time yet, but will also have a look at
your centreon adapter ... but I like prometheus A LOT ;-)
