PHP special characters that need to be quoted

[seebees]

From: http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-string.php

<quote> Note: There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for ini files. These include: null, yes, no, true, false, on, off, none. Values null, off, no and false result in "", and values on, yes and true result in "1", unless INI_SCANNER_TYPED mode is used. Characters ?{}|&~![()^" must not be used anywhere in the key and have a special meaning in the value. </quote>

I'm not sure if you want to support this. It would help me out as I have a grunt task that rebuilds an INI for a PHP project.

This PR required changes to the tests for obvious reasons

e.g.

zr[]=deedee becomes "zr[]"=deedee

your code currently will turn both of these into:

{ zr: [ 'deedee' ] }

So I'm not sure what kind of havoc this would cause with current users...

The specific issue I have is:

asdf = "^something(?:/([^/]+)(?:/special/(.*))?)?"

decodes nicely, but encodes back to:

asdf=^something(?:/([^/]+)(?:/special/(.*))?)?

Which does not parse nicely in parse-ini-string

@seebees if you make this PR to https://github.com/rijnhard/ini-extra I'll review it.

But you will need to change the implementation though, ini-extra has a decode filters option, if you implement an encode filters that mirrors that functionality then I'll accept.

Closing this one due to age, and the fact that tests don't pass locally for me on this. If this is something folks need please resubmit w/ working tests.
