Pull requests are welcome.

Compile time features
---------------------
* It can be compiled to native with nuitka. Try these parameters: `--exe --lto --python-version=2.7`
TODO
----
* A flag for changing the n'th occurence.
* A cleaner way to handle arguments, without adding an external dependency.
* A flag for commenting out keys (adding "# ")
* A flag for removing a value instead of using `''`.
* A flag for removing both the key and the value.
* Rewrite in a different language?
* Optimize the code that is used for adding options with `-a`.
* A way to add an option with `-a` after a given string occurs.
* Test and fix the combination of `-a` and multiline markers.
* Fix the behavior when `"` is the multiline marker and `:` the delimiter (the [yml](https://fdik.org/yml/) format).
* Document which assignment symbols and comment markers are supported.
* Refactor.
* Support both `#define` and `%define` (ref asmttpd).
* When changing settings in JSON files, a line may look like this: `"go.formatTool": "gofmt",`. Add a flag for being able to set the key and value without having to specify the quotes and the final comma.
