Some blogging engines, such as hugo, support TOML in their frontmatter. However, MD041 only support detecting properties in YAML frontmatter.

Custom front matter is already supported: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/README.md#optionsfrontmatter

But TOML looks similar enough to YAML that I might as well support it natively.
