+# DEFAULTS OVERRIDE
+#
+# Options defined in the DEFAULTS section can not be duplicated
+# even if they are defined in two different DEFAULT sections.
+# This is done to catch mistakes where an option is added but
+# the previous option was forgotten about and not commented.
+#
+# The OVERRIDE keyword can be added to a section to allow this
+# section to override other DEFAULT sections values that have
+# been defined previously. It will only override options that
+# have been defined before its use. Options defined later
+# in a non override section will still error. The same option
+# can not be defined in the same section even if that section
+# is marked OVERRIDE.
+#
 #
 #
 # Both TEST_START and DEFAULTS sections can also have the IF keyword
