But we're not talking electronics text books or circuit designs here. 
This is a configuration file for a piece of software - rather akin to 
that character in Lewis Carol, it means exactly what the author of the 
software wants it to mean. The syntax "<name> = <value>" is very common 
in software configuration files, so this syntax is a fairly obvious way 
to define the pin-out (and the polarity).
