The nice thing is that everywhere that used ``Section.sequence`` could
just use ``(Section.scalars + Section.sections)``. It was only used
*inside* Section methods - so I just had to go through carefully
changing them.

I've now *fully* implemented comment support as well - although it's
possible there are bugfixes still to do (of course). Seems to work though.

No - I'd just checked out your version, and was downloading the win32
binaries for pygtk so I could get meld working. I prefer your idea
though ;-)

I'll commit my changes now.

Except I was *sure* I'd already made the changes to ``validate`` - so
that it did the try..except business and changed values. Still - they're
simple changes.

The changes last night are the first *structural* changes to the core
parser since I first implemented it. (Only very slight changes - much
less than I expected).

I'd like to get ConfigObj banged out of the way. There's lots I'd still
like to do to my website, which means more work on rest2web.

Getting ConfigObj finished/documented/packaged may still take a couple
of weeks - but I don't want it to take any longer (if possible - better
to get it right of course).

All the best.
