But sure, the devs can decide to just not use sections for their server config. And if their parser implementation looks for lines starting with a specific prefix/key, then it would also correctly ignore comment-lines.
Then you could support a format like:
host = example.com
port = 54321
…which happens to be valid INI, without needing a library.
Oof, I really don’t agree with that claim. INI files are generally a specific format, there’s just lots of flavors of it.
