Comments included in values

I'm looking into updating the OpenWrt package for iniconfig (from 1.1.1 to 2.0.0), and when I try the example from the readme with 2.0.0 (using the example ini file) I get:
Python 3.11.4 (main, Aug 3 2023, 22:34:22) [GCC 12.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import iniconfig
>>> ini = iniconfig.IniConfig("example.ini")
>>> ini['section1']['name1']
'value1 # comment'
>>> ini.get('section1', 'name1b', [], lambda x: x.split(","))
['value1', 'value2 # comment']
>>> ini.get('section1', 'notexist', [], lambda x: x.split(","))
[]
>>> [x.name for x in list(ini)]
['section1', 'section2']
>>> list(list(ini)[0].items())
[('name1', 'value1 # comment'), ('name1b', 'value1,value2 # comment')]
>>> 'section1' in ini
True
>>> 'inexistendsection' in ini
False
>>> Note that # comment is included with the value of name1 and the second value of name1b. This appears to differ from the output in the readme - is the above the expected/correct output?
I won't be able to get into this today, does the behavior replicate on a desktop python?

Yes, I get the same results in a venv on Ubuntu 23.04 (Python 3.11.4).
wow, seems like this is a allwinner, the bug got pulled in from the pylib codebase in 3ebb68c in 2016 by me
now i gotta figure how that was added/missed in pylib as well
this might end up being a 10 year missed bug
introduced in pytest-dev/py@ba38736 it seems
as far as i can tell it seems necessary to elevate this bug to a default feature and allow a "opt out" 😱
@jefferyto as far as i can tell now after research, the behavior you observe is indeed intended, but its introduction was a bit roundabout, a design decission is needed on how to change it now
Thanks for investigating - I'm not really a user of this module so I'm okay with whatever resolution is deemed appropriate.
