 ``';'`` are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
 
+Configuration files may include comments, prefixed by specific characters (``#``
+and ``;``).  Comments may appear on their own in an otherwise empty line, or may
+be entered in lines holding values or spection names.  In the latter case, they
+need to be preceded by a whitespace character to be recognized as a comment.
+(For backwards compatibility, only ``;`` starts an inline comment, while ``#``
+does not.)

+On top of the core functionality, :class:`SafeConfigParser` supports
+interpolation.  This means values can contain format strings which refer to
+other values in the same section, or values in a special ``DEFAULT`` section.
+Additional defaults can be provided on initialization.
