To make storage-plugins suitable for spec they need to be able to store all the metadata as specified in METADATA.ini. Most file formats do not have support for that.

• store metadata in the comments like the ini plugin: this exposes internal metadata into the comments and can drastically affect the readability of a storage file. Comments should never be touched by a parser.

Use different storage plugins, or plugins with different configurations, for the spec namespace:

• ni
• TOML with meta configuration

• We do not need a storage plugin suitable for everything.
• The problems that internal metadata ends up in configuration files disappears.

We need to have different default plugins in spec than in the other namespaces.
