Yay, not being able to see where a config setting originates from has
bothered me in the past, too. So thanks for working on this.
However, the naming of the '--sources' option sounds a bit misleading to
me. It has nothing to do with source code. So maybe better name it
'--origin', or even more verbose '--show-origin' or '--show-filename'?
Regards,
Sebastian
