A good portion of INI entries are parsed by python directly. We

heading as a list.
I think (hope) most python ini parsing is done through the ini-interface
in module linuxcnc.ini (emc/usr_intf/axis/extensions/emcmodule.cc). This
will simply invoke the new parser. But I still have to go through all
the front-end code to fix consistency things.
The reason for creating the new parser was the complete lack of
consistency when reading boolean values (see
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/3863).
I dont think we restrict the entry name at all. I would need to
check if pythons configparser has default restrictions.
Good point. I'd also need to check where/if it is used and how it
behaves. A real problem might be different syntax behaviour. Especially
string handling. Also, it probably does not support includes, which is
now part of the parser.
If there are any instances of /other/ ini parsers used in the code, then
they need to be changed to the LinuxCNC version. It is a real pain to
use different parsers and expect consistency, which was the problem in
the first place...
