[issue9421] configparser.ConfigParser's getint, getboolean and getfloat don't accept `vars`

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

My question in IRC wasn't intended to mean "why are we passing settings to the constructor" so my much as "why are these configuration settings"; sorry I wasn't clear.

Have we encountered actual use cases that are not covered by the existing code?  I don't recall ever seeing a request for more flexibility in that regard.
