I don't.  It flies in the face of many other configuration files that
I've adjusted.  If I do something like the following in one file:

  setting=this
  setting=that
  setting=something

The setting gets changed on each iteration, and finally becomes just:

  setting=something

Sure, there are *some* exceptions, but *there* the documentation tells
that multiple statements can be used.  e.g. Various servers let you do:

  listen 127.0.0.1:80
  listen 192.168.0.1:8080

So it'll listen on more than one interface and port.

Trying to be logical about it you might want to pick on the absence or
presence of the equals sign, but I highly doubt that's consistent
behaviour.

Sure it could be somewhat of a documentation problem, that it says
nothing about this, though I'm never inclined to do things that docs
don't suggest are possible.  Certainly not without some experimenting,
and always being mindful that undocumented features can never be relied
upon, now or later on.

Back in the days of when we had no compilers and had to program the CPU
directly in op-codes, there were a few undocumented commands that were
nick-named HCF codes (for Halt and Catch Fire).  They worked on some
CPUs and not others.
