My god. Read it all (which took me near a thermo flask (or whatever
you call to an insulated bottle to keep liquids cold or hot) of
"mate"!).

I see two paths here:

- Good one
- Bad one

No, sorry, seriously:

- Rewrite ConfigParser entirely.
- Apply my patch.

The first option is the better, though it's the one which will take
more work. Someone needs to make a PEP. Michael Chermside, in the
first mail of the first link that you sent, was working in a solution,
but don't know what is done. In this case, both patchs I talked before
should be rejected.

The second one is the quickest.

Both paths solves my problem. I think we should go with the second
option in the short term, and with the first one in the long term.

What do you think?
