/**
 * Convenience interface for ini reading/writing.
 *
 * We currently use iniparser in the background, but using its interface directly is a bit verbose.
 * This module is supposed to 1. make ini reading and writing a bit more convenient, and 2. hide
 * the iniparser dependency so it can at need be easily replaced.
