we are talkinkg about additional semantics, whatever it's called.
if you don't like the name "default-options",
it can be just named "options", as i said in the first mail.
it isn't the important point.

another reason i prefer to put them in files.* is modularity.
it isn't a good idea to spread the knowledge of an option
to many places, IMO.
