either that or we need to define how to properly escape such
characters.  similarly for quotes and leading/trailing spaces.

oh, in the [foo] label?  i don't see why we shouldn't support that.
and in any case, segfaulting is bad, m'kay.  especially since this
could potentially be used by a setuid program :)

i could go either way on that.  shouldn't be too hard to implement
anyway.

i guess this was just because i was looking at a different ini
implementation when i did that part. i'm fairly ambivalent about it,
since removing the support would mean less code :)

anyway, i'll go take a look at those tests and see if i can fix the
segfaulting.
