Ase::IniFile class

Class to parse INI configuration file sections and values.

This class parses configuration files, commonly known as INI files. The files contain "[Section]" markers and "attribute=value" definitions. Comment lines are preceeded by a hash "#" sign. For a detailed reference, see: http://wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file
To write INI files, refer to the IniWriter class. Localization of attributes is supported with the "attribute[locale]=value" syntax, in accordance with the desktop file spec: http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec
Example:

[Section]
  key = value  # definition of Section.key = "value"
  name = "quoted string with \n newlines and spaces"
