What is Confogl?

You've heard of something called "Confogl", but what is it exactly?
While I'll list all the original intentions for Confogl down below, it's important to know that most original features have either been separated from Confogl's plugin itself into their own respective plugins and configurations alone as it is now simply used as a loader for matchmodes, rather than a matchmode on its own.

Now, to find out Confogl's initial intents we head over to the Google Archives.
To save you some time, I'll write it all down right below this line.
