It's kind of a legacy thing about how the defaults were implemented. Short version of the story was it was too hard to merge defaults and figure out what people mean. I kept running into options that some folks felt should always be from the config file, others from the command line. To keep it simple I just say use either or but not both. And then wrote the -G option so generating the config files is super easy. That seems to be the best approach. -- Zed A.
