Is this related to #116729 where the INI files are sometimes read as a 'properties' type? That's where INI then incorrectly chooses '#' as comment rather than ';' like it should

@TylerLeonhardt I'd love to keep this open if we can make forward progress otherwise might just need to close it out.

We can leave it open. It's on the Backlog meaning it's not actively being worked on... but it should be kept so we don't forget
