What's so bad about ini?

1) It's simple.  Even people with little to no computer savvy can look
at an ini file and deduce how to make things work.

2) It's easy to parse.

3) It's not platform-dependent.  Using the line iterator in Tango you
don't even have to be cognizant of the differences between /r/n and /n.
 Just go!

4) It's simple enough to be edited from a command-line editor.
