# Basic git INI-like file format parser
#
# Probably not feature complete anytime soon...
#
# Notable omissions:
# - multiline values (if supported??)
# - proper subsections
# - includes
# - conditional includes
# - keys with embedded whitespace
#
# Low hanging fruit:
# - group by section if you need to query the file often
#
# Unknowns:
# - whitespace before section header?
# - what if no section is specified before first item?
#
