TIniCollectionItem is a #rtl.classes.tcollectionitem descendent which has some extra methods for saving/loading the item to or from an .ini file.

To use this class, a descendent should be made, and the SaveToIni and LoadFromIni methods should be overridden. They should implement the actual loading and saving. The loading and saving is always initiated by the methods in TIniCollection, TIniCollection.LoadFromIni and TIniCollection.SaveToIni respectively.

TIniCollection		Collection which can write itself to an .ini file
TIniCollectionItem.SaveToIni		Method called when the item must be saved
TIniCollectionItem.LoadFromIni		Method called when the item must be loaded
TIniCollection.LoadFromIni		Load collection from a file in .ini file format.
TIniCollection.SaveToIni		Save the collection to a `TCustomIniFile` descendent
