Read .ini files with enhanced functionality:

use of a 'default' chapter
--------------------------

[](#use-of-a-default-chapter)

- there is a default chapter that can be used to give default key/values for all the other chapters
- the default chapter name is `[default]` but this can be changed to e.g. `[_default]` or `[def-values]`

```
[default]
key1=1

[chapter1]
// key1 will exist and = 1
key2=2
```

{parameter} substitution
------------------------

[](#parameter-substitution)

- key names can be used as variables in value definition and will be substituted when the value is consulted.
- The variable syntax is `{key}` by default, but can be changed to e.g. `{$key}` or `[key]`

```
[default]
domain=www.example.com

[chapter1]
code=4567
url=https://{domain}}/?code={code}
// url will be = https://www.example.com/?code=4567
```
