On the other hand, as we never promised any kind of API (and this is not
even an internal API to begin with), it will be _easy_ to rename it in
the unlikely event that we would ever introduce non-boolean defaults to
override, wouldn't you agree?
We have plenty of precedent where patch series start by refactoring,
whether it is to rename functions or variables or files or extracting
functions. Preparing for a future that might never come strikes me as
premature optimization.
Ciao,
Dscho
