By tychoish:

In my experience this ` = ` setting *does* currently work. I think you can drop the spaces without error, but the spaces will make things more readable.

As for all caps, I've not tested this, but I suspect that this doesn't work (given that the config file options mirror command line options,) and besides I find all caps hard to read, particularly because some of the settings are multi-morpheme. This is more topical for a server JIRA case.
