What do you think of changing the name to "allow-pipelining"? tolerate roughly equals put up with; as in you might not like it but you will put up with it. So while I will tolerate my son staying up until 4am and sleeping until noon, he is not allowed to make enough noise to wake me up :) Changing the name to "allow-pipelining" might make the purpose of the keyword a bit clearer. >> Fabian - is this bit correct? >> >> # Default value: >> # >> # None >> >> sure looks like the default is 0 > > In the config file "None", "Unset" and "0" currently refer to the same > numeric default value. I wouldn't be opposed to consistently using "0". 0 would be better. None implies neither 0 or 1 Want me to do it? Changes would be to current/doc/source/p-config.sgml - right?
