"wx.ConfigBase class defines the basic interface of all config
classes. It can not be used by itself (it is an abstract base class)
and you will always use one of its derivations: wx.Config or
wx.FileConfig.

wx.ConfigBase organizes the items in a tree-like structure, modeled
after the Unix/Dos filesystem. There are groups that act like
directories and entries, key/value pairs that act like files.  There
is always one current group given by the current path.  As in the file
system case, to specify a key in the config class you must use a path
to it.  Config classes also support the notion of the current group,
which makes it possible to use relative paths.

Keys are pairs \"key_name = value\" where value may be of string,
integer floating point or boolean, you can not store binary data
without first encoding it as a string.  For performance reasons items
should be kept small, no more than a couple kilobytes.
