Detailed Description

Tiny, dependency-free INI-style configuration parser (header-only).

Written in-tree to avoid adding any external dependency (no TOML/INI library). Format (deliberately minimal):

• One key = value pair per line.
• Blank lines are ignored.
• Full-line comments start with '#' or ';'.
• Inline comments: text after an unquoted '#' or ';' is stripped.
• Optional [section] headers are parsed; keys may be addressed as "section.key" or, for the default (top) section, just "key".
• Surrounding whitespace on keys and values is trimmed.
• Values may be wrapped in matching single or double quotes to preserve leading/trailing spaces or embedded comment characters.
• Keys are case-sensitive (to match C++ field names exactly).

This is intended for small config files (a few dozen keys); it loads the whole file into a map. It is not a general-purpose INI implementation.
