All "interface" statements take priority over all "default"
statements, so in this particular case order doesn't matter.  (The
initial plan was that a default statement would only apply to later
interface statements, which would have been easier to implement, but
Matthieu and Baptiste both argued that it's counter-intuitive.)

Nah, that's a real LL(1) parser, not a dodgy shell hack.

Yes, any -C options are merged with the config file (and take priority
over the latter).
