Border and NoBorder were okay as long as the whole border was
treated as a single object.  When it gets split into four parts,
is should be Borders and NoBorders.  The struts are four separate
things by design.

I have no objections against an additional '%' suffix.  But the
problem with breaking compatibility here is that it is virtually
impossible to write a script that converts existing configs to the
new syntax.
