But this library is not an all lua solution, but something that brings
in an extra dep.
My point is, why bring in a specific tool for the job, when you can
use a universal tool that does the job just as good.

On that point, I'm trying to write an ini file reader in lpeg now; the
lack of specifications of the ini file format makes things hard. Will
post when I finish.
