## Detailed Description

Class for quickly loading settings from a text file.

Remarks:
  This class is designed to quickly parse a simple file containing key/value pairs, mainly for use in configuration settings.

  This is a very simplified approach, no multiple values per key are allowed, no grouping or context is being kept etc.

  By default the key/values pairs are tokenised based on a separator of Tab, the colon (:) or equals (=) character. Each key - value pair must end in a carriage return.

  Settings can be optionally grouped in sections, using a header beforehand of the form [SectionName].
