New description:

 Some INI files can have multiple values, separated by commas, e.g.

 {{{
 key = value1, value2, value3
 }}}

 Adding support for this feature to all INI File entries would mess up the
 lens, since single value keys would get their values listed in arrays,
 like:

 {{{
 key1 = value1
 key2 = value2, value3
 }}}

 would give

 {{{
 { "key1"
    { "1" = "value1" } }
 { "key2"
    { "1" = "value2" }
    { "2" = "value3" } }
 }}}

 The idea is thus to implement a entry_array lens to support arrays for
 specific entry keys.
