There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for
ini files. These include: null, yes, no, true, false, on, off, none.
Values null, no and false results in "", yes and true results in "1".
Characters <literal>?{}|&amp;~![()^"</literal> must not be used anywhere in
the key and have a special meaning in the value.
