Hi, all.

conf package is pure-tcl package for loading a textual configuration data from file, channels and strings. It supports conf syntax with hierarchical and ini-style sections and key-value pairs where value can be string or list.

Source code: https://github.com/lego12239/conf.tcl

## Features

* conf syntax supports of hierarchical sections
* conf syntax support of ini-style sections
* conf syntax support of comments
* conf syntax support of file inclusion
* callback can be used on every key-value assignment to change a default behaviour drastically(you can even use a package only as parser and process a parsed key-value as you want)
* conf is parsed into 2 dicts: one is a parsed conf and another is a conf specification with info about value types. This is very important for working with parsed conf correctly. See Rationale section in the README.
* there are utility routines to help with conf spec checking.
