   Additional notes2 sources agree

   • add IniConfig.parse() classmethod with strip_inline_comments parameter (fixes #55)
     • by default (strip_inline_comments=True), inline comments are properly stripped from values
     • set strip_inline_comments=False to preserve old behavior if needed
   • IniConfig() constructor maintains backward compatibility (does not strip inline comments)
   • users should migrate to IniConfig.parse() for correct comment handling
   • add strip_section_whitespace parameter to IniConfig.parse() (regarding #4)
     • opt-in parameter to strip Unicode whitespace from section names
     • when True, strips Unicode whitespace (U+00A0, U+2000, U+3000, etc.) from section names
     • when False (default), preserves existing behavior for backward compatibility
   • clarify Unicode whitespace handling (regarding #4)
     • since iniconfig 2.0.0 (Python 3 only), all strings are Unicode by default
     • Python 3's str.strip() has handled Unicode whitespace since Python 3.0 (2008)
     • iniconfig automatically benefits from this in all supported versions (Python >= 3.10)
     • key names and values have Unicode whitespace properly stripped using Python's built-in methods
