That was already dropped. :)

I'd prefer that syntax too, it would be much clearer than mixing the
sections with this. It's also backwards compatible, lines prefixed with
# are simply ignored.

Yup. ${foobar} is actually not any "variable" per se, but just a
reference to existing ini entry in the file. And I don't think that
needs to change.

. is acceptable since it's acceptable in ini directive names too. And
works just fine in pre 5.3 versions too.

Yup, I mentioned this a couple of times already. :)
