 * Stringifies a hierarchical object or an array of lines to .properties format

 * If the input is a hierarchical object, keys will consist of the path parts
 * joined by `.` characters. With array input, string values represent blank or
 * comment lines and string arrays are [key, value] pairs. The characters `\`,
 * `\n` and `\r` will be appropriately escaped. If the `latin1` option is not
 * set to false, all non-Latin-1 characters will also be `\u` escaped.
 *
 * Output styling is controlled by the second options parameter; by default a
 * spaced `=` separates the key from the value, `\n` is the newline separator,
 * lines are folded at 80 characters, with subsequent lines indented by four
 * spaces, and comment lines are prefixed with a `#`. `''` as a key value is
 * considered the default, and set as the value of a key corresponding to its
 * parent object's path.
