The Python wiki mentions that "writing to an INI file will wipe out all comments".

https://wiki.python.org/moin/ConfigParserExamples

So, when updating the docstrings, it may be a good idea to both add a note at the read methods, that comments get ignored and to the write method(s) that on writing, the possible previous existing comments get removed.

Are there any thoughts on this or should I go forward and create a pull request?
