2 quick thoughts. 1. I am not sure we can/should change the default, as it interacts with the recorded user changes for past versions. The default is that we never change defaults. (Having one user config for all Python/IDLE versions is a curse as well as a blessing. I anticipate having to do something different, sometime. 2. I was thinking for '<top level>' instead of a blank line for when CC is on but there is no real context. I think we should try both and see what seems better in use while moving down through a file.
