This series is an evolvement from another recent series, [1] as a result
of a decision to fix a longstanding bug in the parsing of configuration
option values, instead of documenting the status quo. [2][3]

The bufgix introduced in this series _should_ have no hidden negative
effects.  All of the configuration-related tests, both the old and the
new ones, pass with the patches applied.

Changes in v2 are described in each of the patches.
