Currently the parser parses all values into string, but the existing parsers in the ecosystem often work in a different way. - `npm:ini` - parses `true` `false` into booleans - no handling for numbers - strips double quotes when they are balanced. (no stripping happens if quotes are not balanced) - also supports array in the form of `array[] = value` - python `configparser` std module - parses all values into string by default - optionally you can call `getboolean` to covert value into boolean (many things are considered boolean such as true/false, yes/no, on/off, 1/0) - no quote stripping - `parse_ini_string` builtin function in php - handles `TRUE` `FALSE` as booleans - strips quotes around the value. Errors at unbalanced quotes. (Further investigations of other parsers are welcome) There seem no consensus in value handling, it might make sense to follow `npm:ini` when there's differences.
