This seems to either conflict with the separate :client option in

So what's the situation with options like "client"? It's not
documented anywhere except the --help or man page output - so it's
not in the configuration reference.
Should they be? That was the intent of my patch.
There's always been a somewhat arbitrary separation between global
settings and per-application settings. The closest I can come to what
drives the separation is that the per-application settings only ever
affect the internals of the app itself, and thus aren't used anywhere
else in the code base (e.g., this 'client' setting determines whether
puppetd uses an agent, but it's not referred to anywhere else).
It's probably a good idea to unify them, adding all application
settings to the global 'settings' instance, but doing them one at a
time, like this, seems not so awesome.
If they are added, though, it should probably be done within the
application instance, rather than actually making them global settings.
