+cfgparse is a more convenient, flexible, and powerful module for parsing
+configuration files than the standard library ConfigParser module. cfgparse
+uses a more declarative style modelled after the popular optparse standard
+library module.
+
+cfgparse can optionally cooperate with the optparse module to provide
+coordination between command line and configuration file options. In addition,
+the cooperation can be used to allow the user to control features of the
+parser from the command line.
