How are quoted values handled?

INI is loosely standardized, but this tool strips surrounding quotes and keeps the inner string — `name = "yutils"` becomes `"yutils"`.

Are comments preserved?

Lines starting with `#` or `;` are treated as comments and dropped. They do not appear in the JSON output.

INI itself has no nesting; some tools expand dotted keys like `[a.b]` into `{"a": {"b": ...}}`. This tool supports only flat (single-level) sections.

Example

[database]
host = localhost
port = 5432

[user]
name = yutils
admin = true

{
  "database": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": "5432"
  },
  "user": {
    "name": "yutils",
    "admin": "true"
  }
}

`[section]` headers plus `key = value` lines. Values stay as strings — INI has no type system in the spec.
