Ducking the added documentation discussion for a minute, I think we
can agree that the commented-default concept is at the least confusing,
at the most broken.

How do we do determine this? Perhaps a reasoned discussion on hackers?
I'll start, by putting forth the proposal that the default-comment
behavior does more harm than good because it is confusing and broken,
and should be scrapped in favor of a simple "what you see is what you get"
behavior, just like every other configuration file.
