Yes and no the idea was that if we may have later a machine 
configuration in .conf this one still forces the machine to another value.

Example:
machine config option: pc-q35-1.4
You start the VM.
change machine config option: pc-q35-1.5
you do a snapshot

you rollback - now the config option machine is pc-q35-1.5 but we still 
need to FORCE to pc-q35-1.4

Which kind of parser? Just [a-z0-9-\.]?
