True.

I wrote that before seeing Michael’s reply. Since Georg is +1 too, I can only 
say: Great, let’s do it!

Right. I don’t know if people using ConfigParser really want to use the 
interpolation. If we want to give the same name as the module to the best class 
for people who don’t read docs, I’d prefer renaming RawConfigParser to 
ConfigParser and SafeConfigParser to SomethingConfigParser.
