I agree. It's a mess. > Some parsers support quoted RHS, others don't. It wouldn't shock me > if some support heredocs, but for the ones that do, is "dosini" really > the best filetype name? DOS doesn't support heredocs AFAIR, and .ini > is used on other systems than DOS as an easily-parseable format... > Maybe "dosini.vim" should be moved to "ini.vim", since it is used on > non-dos systems? Is there any precedent for renaming a filetype? My memory matches yours regarding DOS, etc. I don't know of a precedent, for a name change but I think such a change would make sense in this case. It probably shouldn't have, but the .ini format has spread like a virus to all kinds of areas. > Well... how much harm is there in including it even if it isn't > supported?
