Yes, probably, but it depends an what you wanna do with it. If 
it's something like a Java properties file that loads user 
defined preferences or stuff like that, you don't need comments. 
Then again, if the program generates the files itself, the 
additional quotes wouldn't be a problem. I just thought it would 
be a nice-to-have feature that you can define the type, e.g. 
string[string], and the method parses accordingly, i.e. left 
value is string : right value is string. But hey, no big deal if 
it doesn't.
