... which is why I said "default", i.e. if not specified in the config
file, it should do whatever is "right" according to the code. That way,
you could have commented-out entry in the config file saying "use this
to override the default", or so.
That's easy to do; set a variable to whatever is default, and overwrite
it if the config file has a value.
