    In many cases it is preferrable for ConfigParser to
    maintain the order
    in which its items were added. This small change adds
    a customdict
    default argument to *ConfigParser's constructor to
    allow users to
    specify a custom dict.

    A useful example is::

        from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
    ConfigParser(customdict=my_ordered_dict)

    One such my_ordered_dict could be the ordered
    dictionary "odict"
    http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/odict.html.

    Ordered dictionaries have been a recent popular topic on
    comp.lang.python, and there are a few possibilities for
    implementation, so it seems best that ConfigParser just
    offer a
    default argument to support such customization.

    I can submit a documentation patch if this idea is
    accepted.

    Thanks for the patch; I committed it with some modifications (e.g. renaming of the parameter to dict_type). Committed as r52908.

    Please include patches to the documentation and the test suite in the future.
