Is this feature truly needed? I've never seen/used it in all the time that
I've used ConfigParser (which was even before it was part of the Python
distro...).

It is a rather complex feature, and I would think for marginal benefit. I'd
recommend dropping it unless we have a firm requirement for it. Any
examples?
