But the main ideia to change it is allow any type supported by SysUtils, like
integer (-1/0 or 0/1), strings (true/false, yes/no, y/n, sim/não or
other) etc.
My patch keeps the current behavior of the INI class, but allows the programmer
to internationalize that to the your favorite way. You prefer
0/1, I prefer true/false, other prefer yin/yang etc., my patch allow to use in
any way. ;)
Unfortunately, this is not quite good enough.
The read part is OK, but we need to make sure that the write part is compatible
with other code out there.
It is OK when all code accessing the ini file uses the same conventions but
this condition is not always guaranteed.
If your code writes 'true' and my code doesn't handle 'true' because it uses an older version of TIniFile,
then this is a problem.
So, we'll need a property that tells TIniFile to write using the new properties (by default false), and
check the value of this property when writing new boolean values.
