Even though I don't have the time to review this library. I have one 
comment about this...

My understanding from previous discussions is that this is the problem 
domain for this library.

You are kidding right? How many times have you opened up a Windows INI 
file in a text editor? How many times have you opened up an Apache like 
*.conf file in a text editor? How many times have you opened up a file 
inside "/etc" and changed it? For all those same cases there's usually 
also the option of a GUI program to do the editing for you.

So I must ask; How can you think this domain is limited?
