i'd like to make the suggestion that if we do this, instead of using the
block-within-braces syntax (which doesn't aesthetically fit well with
the ini format imo and would be harder to parse), we do something like

[check_stuff]
	env STUFF_NAME=foo
	env STUFF_BLAH='foo bar'
	range=12:20

furthermore, you example brought up an issue which will need to be
clarified... what's the specification for parsing quotes?

i haven't been spending my fair share of time with n-p lately, so i'll
volunteer to do the C side of this if there's agreement on the
nitty-gritty...
