Simple INI file reader.
Section and key names are case-insensitive and ignore leading and trailing whitespace.
Supports line comments, trailing comments and quoted values.
Keys appearing more than once will either replace previous values or append to them with a separator.

const initext = `
# comments start with a hash
; or a semicolon
# global keys are in the unnamed (empty string) section
Username = " user name " # values can be quoted preserve whitespace or embed quotes
# section names are case insensitive and ignores leading and trailing whitespace
[ HTTP ]
port = 8080 # keys and values are stripped of leading and trailing whitespace
port=8081 # keys appearing more than once either append or replace values
`

username, _ := inif.Get("", "username")

fmt.Printf("%q\n%q\n", username, ports)
// Output:
// " user name "
// "8080,8081"
