The basic configuration object. When *defaults* is given, it is initialized
into the dictionary of intrinsic defaults. When *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. This class does not

support the magical interpolation behavior.

All option names used in interpolation will be passed through the
- :meth:`optionxform` method just like any other option name reference. For
- example, using the default implementation of :meth:`optionxform` (which converts
- option names to lower case), the values ``foo %(bar)s`` and ``foo %(BAR)s`` are
- equivalent.
