methods to handle integers, floats and booleans. The last one is the most
interesting because simply passing the value to ``bool()`` would do no good

* *converters*, default value: not set
Config parsers provide option value getters that perform type conversion. By
default :meth:`getint`, :meth:`getfloat`, and :meth:`getboolean` are
implemented. Should other getters be desirable, users may define them in
a subclass or pass a dictionary where each key is a name of the converter and
each value is a callable implementing said conversion. For instance, passing
``{'decimal': decimal.Decimal}`` would add :meth:`getdecimal` on both the
parser object and all section proxies. In other words, it will be possible
to write both ``parser_instance.getdecimal('section', 'key', fallback=0)``
and ``parser_instance['section'].getdecimal('key', 0)``.

.. attribute:: BOOLEAN_STATES
By default when using :meth:`getboolean`, config parsers consider the
following values ``True``: ``'1'``, ``'yes'``, ``'true'``, ``'on'`` and the
following values ``False``: ``'0'``, ``'no'``, ``'false'``, ``'off'``. You
can override this by specifying a custom dictionary of strings and their
