Mike and I discussed this on IRC and I also like option 'c' as long
as the code checks for the -1 value and turns off this feature. Also the
default should be disabled (-1). Only if the user comments in or changes
the value should this feature be enabled.
Thanks for implementing this properly Mike. I am looking forward
to playing with this fix.
