 I just made a portable module for reading and writing INI files. INI files
 come in handy! This code is public domain. Here's a little example:

 Ini ini = new Ini("foo.ini");
 with(ini.addSection("mysection"))
 {
     value("keyname", "hello world");
 }
 ini.save();

I'd thought of doing my own INI lib, now I guess I won't have to.  I 
like your concept of wrapping sections into objects, very slick.

I still love it, just wanted to throw in a few suggestions.  First off, 
do you think IniSection.keys() might be rewritable to the following?:

IniKey[] keys()
{
	IniKey[] ikeys;
	foreach(IniKey ikey; this)
	{
		ikeys ~= ikey;
	}
	return ikeys;
}

I tried to preserve your coding style, but I think its a bit cleaner. 
Correct or ignore me if I missed an important reason for it being the 
way it already is.

Also, could we get IniSection.value(IniKey, char[]) and 
IniSection.value(char[], char[]) to return the new value back to the 
calling expression?  Makes for a more transparent interface in my 
opinion, but I'm odd.

The way I have it, ikeys doesn't need to be reallocated at all. It might
waste a few bytes, but I don't think it's enough to worry about.

 IniSection.value(char[], char[]) to return the new value back to the

The way I see it is that you already have the value, why have the function
do a bit more work when it doesn't need to :)  - I know I'm way over
concerned with efficiency.
