* Ini file configuration engine.
* Since IniConfig uses parse_ini_file underneath, you should be aware that this
* class shares the same behavior, especially with regards to boolean and null values.
* In addition to the native `parse_ini_file` features, IniConfig also allows you
* to create nested array structures through usage of `.` delimited names. This allows
* you to create nested arrays structures in an ini config file. For example:
* `db.password = secret` would turn into `['db' => ['password' => 'secret']]`
* You can nest properties as deeply as needed using `.`'s. In addition to using `.` you
* can use standard ini section notation to create nested structures:
* Once loaded into Configure, the above would be accessed using:
* `Configure::read('section.key');
* You can also use `.` separated values in section names to create more deeply
* IniConfig also manipulates how the special ini values of
* 'yes', 'no', 'on', 'off', 'null' are handled. These values will be
* converted to their boolean equivalents.
