"""A simple parser for configuration files in ini-style.

The main difference to other simple ini-parsers is, that it does not
write the whole structure into the file, but only the changed values.
Thus it keeps comments and structuring of the file.

@var DELIMITER: list of delimiters allowed
@type DELIMITER: string[]

@var COMMENT: comment marks allowed
@type COMMENT: string[]

@var TRUE: Regular expression for all TRUE values allowed.
Currently supported are the values (case insensitive): true, 1, on, wahr, ja, yes.
@var FALSE: Regular expression for all FALSE values allowed.
Currently supported are the values (case insensitive): false, 0, off, falsch, nein, no,
@var SECTION: Regular expression allowing the recognition of a section header.
@var EXPRESSION: Regular expression defining a normal option-value pair.
