They are redundant in all pruned cases and sometimes even create some
problems, e.g., when one tries to jump through paragraphs in vi.

A convenience helper function that allows to set a configuration value
if the user has not explicitly configured anything ie the option does
not exist yet in the configuration. It won't do anything, if the option
exists.

Attempt to load first ConfigParser and then configparser. At some point this
should be switched to do the python3 thing first.

apply() has been deprecated since Python 2.3, and won't be working in
python 3 anymore. Use the functional equivalent throughout.

SafeConfigParser is very similar to the currently used ConfigParser but
it supports interpolation. This means values can contain format strings
which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special
DEFAULT section. For example:
[My Section]
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever
dir=frob
would resolve the %(dir)s to the value of dir (frob in this case). All reference expansions are done on demand.

Improve documentation about what CustomConfigHelperMixin does,
it was not very clear without a close look to the code before.
