As the author of `hsini` I wouldn't mind if you created a bug report,
explain the format you have (ideally you attach an example).

Of course I can't promise any ETA, or even that it'll ever be done
(you know how it's with FLOSS).

I've pretty much used the "standard" described in the [INI article on
Wikpedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file) and then picked the
pieces I think make sense and have use for myself.
