TOML is infinitely better at nested structured that ConfigParser, given that
TOML actually *supports* nested structures beyond a level of 1. The only way
to get anything like:
[package.build]
dependencies = ["setuptools", "wheel"]
In ConfigParser is to add post-processing to the values, which then you're no
longer a "ConfigParser" file, you're a "ConfigParser + Whatever random one off
code you wrote to do post processing" file.
