Different behaviour for : and = in strings about neon

[dg]

After the colon must be a space but after the = may not be (compatiblity with INI). This behavior can be changed, but it is a big BC break.

Neon is officially compatible with INI?

[dg]

No.

[hason]

In YAML it is possible to write

foo: foo: bar # same as foo: "foo: bar"

Why not in NEON?

I would like to write:

foo: foo=bar

without quotations.

Why not in NEON?

So far no one needed it, probably it is not useful in practice.

I would like to write without quotations

It is currently little bit problematic, because = is the same as :. So it is possible to support foo: foo: bar xor foo: foo=bar.

In YAML it is possible to write

foo: foo: bar

No, it is not, it is illegal syntax. I.e. Symfony Yaml component fails with this error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Yaml\Exception\ParseException: A colon cannot be used in an unquoted mapping value at line 1 (near "foo: foo: bar").
Forbidden by YAML 1.2 specification: http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2788859

It was possible in Symfony 2. And yes, it is illegal. So I have solved a problem with =: https://github.com/symfonette/neon-integration#expression
