For the moment, Radiance gamedata management is isolated in a lot of "utils" files that manage themselves their data. I think that a birb core data manager should be done for that.

It would handle the following:

Indexing all the data files (not requiring them, it'll just index)
Categorize them using their folder structure, but also be able to get them directly by their filename.
Be able to handle both "simple" files (like itemdata) or splitted (like the player data).
Know if a data is missing/doesn't exists
Asking for files to be unique or not (for instance for itemdata)
Be able to simply get the category/folder structure of a file.
Throw error if we are trying to get a non-existing data file.
Handle maybe data validation ? I feel that it should be more in a special validator utility

Doing that could save us a lot of devtime in the future.
