It is possible to read several configurations into a single
:class:`ConfigParser`, where the most recently added configuration has the
highest priority. Any conflicting keys are taken from the more recent
configuration while the previously existing keys are retained.

.. doctest::

>>> another_config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> another_config.read('example.ini')
['example.ini']
>>> another_config['topsecret.server.com']['Port']
'50022'
>>> another_config.read_string("[topsecret.server.com]\nPort=48484")
>>> another_config['topsecret.server.com']['Port']
'48484'
>>> another_config.read_dict({"topsecret.server.com": {"Port": 21212}})
>>> another_config['topsecret.server.com']['Port']
'21212'
>>> another_config['topsecret.server.com']['ForwardX11']
'no'

This behaviour is equivalent to a :meth:`ConfigParser.read` call with several
files passed to the *filenames* parameter.
