 > You're focusing too much on how it works rather than what it does. 'Give
 me a human readable description of config option X' is a nice feature to
 have. And no, this isn't arm specific. Vidalia and other GUI controllers,
 for instance, would love to have this feature.

 Exactly, the GUI's should implement this if they need it not stem. It just
 sounded like feature creep. Anyhow, it's your call :)
