 notes:
    - While it is possible to add an I(option) without specifying a I(value), this makes
      no sense.
+   - A section named C(default) cannot be added by the module, but if it exists, individual
+     options within the section can be updated. (This is a limitation of Python's I(ConfigParser).)
+     Either use M(template) to create a base INI file with a C([default]) section, or use
+     M(lineinfile) to add the missing line.
