New description:
Some INI files can have multiple values, separated by commas, e.g.
{{{
key = value1, value2, value3
}}}
Adding support for this feature to all INI File entries would mess up the
lens, since single value keys would get their values listed in arrays,
like:
{{{
key1 = value1
key2 = value2, value3
}}}
would give
{{{
{ "key1"
{ "1" = "value1" } }
{ "key2"
{ "1" = "value2" }
{ "2" = "value3" } }
}}}
The idea is thus to implement a entry_array lens to support arrays for
specific entry keys.
