\var{defaults} is given, it is initialized into the dictionary of
intrinsic defaults. They keys must be strings, and the values must be
appropriate for the \samp{\%()s} string interpolation. Note that
-\var{__name__} is always an intrinsic default; its value is the
-section name.
+\var{__name__} is an intrinsic default; its value is the section name,
+and will override any value provided in \var{defaults}.

\begin{excdesc}{NoSectionError}
Exception raised when problems occur performing string interpolation.
\end{excdesc}
+\begin{excdesc}{InterpolationDepthError}
+Exception raised when string interpolation cannot be completed because
+the number of iterations exceeds \constant{MAX_INTERPOLATION_DEPTH}.
+\end{excdesc}

\begin{excdesc}{MissingSectionHeaderError}
Exception raised when attempting to parse a file which has no section
headers.
Exception raised when errors occur attempting to parse a file.
\end{excdesc}
+\begin{datadesc}{MAX_INTERPOLATION_DEPTH}
+The maximum depth for recursive interpolation for \method{get()} when
+the \var{raw} parameter is false. Setting this does not change the
+allowed recursion depth.
