The basic configuration object. When \var{defaults} is given, it is
initialized into the dictionary of intrinsic defaults. When \var{dict_type}
is given, it will be used to create the dictionary objects for the list
of sections, for the options within a section, and for the default values.
+When a list of single-characters is provided in \var{delimiters}, it will
+override the default separators between keys and values in the configuration
+file. The first such delimiter is always used in writing the file out.
This class does not support the magical interpolation behavior.
