If I can take this as a comment that the above is closer to "true"
.ini style, if that's what he was trying to accomplish, then this is a
good comment.
However, I think it would be a big mistake to make rigid compatability
with Windows' .ini files a goal. For one thing, many if not most Ada
programs do not run on Windows. For another, that file format is in
thrall to Microsoft, and is probably only defined in Microsoft
copyrighted documents, if at all. Anything we come up with will have
to be something we can define with precision in the new LRM, without
having to worry about violating anyone's copyright, or having the
format change out from under us at the whim of one (non-Ada) vendor.
