>>> !cat INI.ini
[Asciidoc]
_test_stdout = <div class="paragraph">\n<p>Hello, World!</p>\n</div>
>>> import configparser
>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> config.read('INI.ini')
['INI.ini']
>>> config['Asciidoc']['_test_stdout']
'<div class="paragraph">\\n<p>Hello, World!</p>\\n</div>'
...as you can see, ConfigParser escaped the backslash by doubling it.
Which is fine in most cases - except when I want to have something
indicating an newline.
