I had a request for a config capability awhile ago. It wasn't then or is now a big deal to me. If it's picked up by Andrew at all, I prefer the simpler style I posted as the code is smaller and the arguments are just the same as the command line so all of aliases work in the .conf file as well. I do understand the desire for a Windows style .ini though. If it's an .ini I think it should use: [sections] key=value Maybe that only if checkpatch or some other script uses a config as well.
