a) Please elaborate.
b) Do you have a better idea to warrant config file backwards compability?
c) More opinions needed!

In that case, one line needs to be appended to the renamed_options_table[]:
{ "mouse-copy-mode", "new-name", 0, 0 }

Like in the previous patch? That changes mode-mouse's semantics,
effectively breaking most existing config files.

I don't quite understand this.
And how is a general mechanism to handle option/value string changes
gracefully bloat? Can you do it with less code?
