Do not get me wrong, but is there really a need to make this an SRFI?
The format is simple, the implementation is straightforward

I mean, INI files are generally very varied, and frankly ill-defined.
Sometimes repeated sections are expected to override each other,
sometimes they are expected to be read as a list, and sometimes they
are forbidden. This is just a single example.

The name of these configuration files comes from the filename extension INI, short for initialization. The format has become an informal standard in many contexts of configuration. This SRFI provides access to the contents of an INI file.
