Email uses 'failobj' instead of 'default'.  I find that kind of odd, but oh 
well.

I'm not sure how useful a single data point is, but just last month I wrote an 
application that uses the DEFAULT section.  Each configfile section gives a set 
of parameters describing certain attributes of an input file, and the DEFAULT 
section gives the default values for each of those parameters.  A few years ago 
I had an application that made heavy use of interpolation and provided for 
config files that would override 'earlier' config files, and I used the 
'defaults' parameter to the constructor to achieve this easily.  I'm pretty 
sure I also added a few defaults programatically, but the memory is a bit hazy 
(I no longer maintain that application and I don't think it is in use any 
longer).
