Create a clearer, shorter INI file syntax

Most of the problems appear in the FIELD, MSG, and message sections of the INI file. Note the difference in clarity, readability, and length between the current and proposed syntaxes below. Current syntax: [FIELD] FIELD(1).NAME="Tag" FIELD(1).TYPE="String" FIELD(2).NAME="Date" FIELD(2).TYPE="DateTime" FIELD(2).FORMAT="yyyy-MM-dd" [MSG] MSG(1).NAME="MessageSection1" MSG(2).NAME="MessageSection2" [MessageSection1] MessageSection1.FILTER = (MessageSection1 message filter) (MessageSection1 code) [MessageSection2] MessageSection2.FILTER = (MessageSection2 message filter) (MessageSection2 code) Proposed syntax: [Variables] Tag String Date DateTime("yyyy-MM-dd") [Messages] <(MessageSection1 message filter)> (MessageSection1 code) <(MessageSection2 message filter)> (MessageSection2 code)
