Not sure if this falls in the ".ini-file-like" category, but
YAML (www.yaml.org) does nesting based on indentation.
Your example would look like

core:
  values:
    fixed: true
    nested: fine
    example:
      test: Hell yes
  other:
    example: strange
  name: hi
secontion:
  example: yet another

or

core:
  values: { fixed: true, nested: fine, example: { test: Hell yes } }
  other: { example: strange }
  name: hi
secontion: { example: 'yet another' }
