I can see that argument, but I think we can quite simply solve it if we 
provide a plain-text version of the configuration chapter of the 
documentation.  You can easily grep that in a second window and don't have to 
be in-your-face to users who just want to edit the settings.

I'd offer the alternative theory that anything that is longer than one screen 
is overwhelming and unwieldy.
