Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-324:
--------------------------------------------
This makes sense, however I am nor sure whether this approach would work with
file paths defined in ini files. Consider a property declaration like
[section]
directory=C:\Programs\
I think that the backslash is typically not escaped if used in path names. So
when applying the strategy you suggested we would continue this line, which is
certainly not desired.
I don't know what would be the best way of dealing with this problem.

> INIConfiguration does not support line continuation. See
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Escapes for a description. Using
> INIConfiguration to read the following file:
> [section1]
> dotted.var1 = \
> foo
> var2 = doodle
> Produces the following contents:
> section1.dotted.var1= \
> section1.foo=
> I expected the following contents:
> section1.dotted.var1= foo
