parse apart plain-text list of a key / value pair into a table where the plain-text k/v becomes the key in a lua table with the assigned value true. Do this to catch multiples of the same k/v and to support the easy insertion of k/v pairs from the unsorted list.

also normalize k/v format

maintenance utility for Module:Footnotes/whitelist. The whitelist is segregated into sections according to the section heading (single alpha character A-Z and '#'). This utility adds whitelist entries from the UNSORTED heading to the correct alpha heading. After appropriate unsorted entries have been added to a section, the section is sorted and then saved.

for this to work, the unsorted header name must be: UNSORTED

this utility take no arguments from frame. frame is provided only for expandTemplate ]]
