Description

Moreover the modified version works with many julia types, basically anything that obeys the following
equation
eval(parse(sprint(print,x))) == x

parseini gist

There are a few lines of example usage in the end of the gist

The modified version returns a Dict and not a specialized type which I think is a better design choice here.
I am submitting this as a gist for evaluation and not as a PR because there are some design changes over the original.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked parseini gist and comparing its variable-setting behavior and Dict return value with the current IniFile.jl API. The issue presents design changes for evaluation rather than naming files or tests, so the desired API and acceptance criteria would need to be decided before implementation.
