That's an interesting application. Most of the multiple input
configuration options examples (I've seen) start with a base of the
least-prioritised values, and then 'add' higher-priority configuration
option-values to that.
In this case we: import the config file, but if it's not available use
the stated fall-back value(s).
Good one!
