Same here. My first impression was that a variable named XYZ_ARG would
be a single argument that is passed to a shell command. Reading that the
value can be set to "no" made me think of a special value that would be
filtered out.
The existing variables having the types "Yes" or "YesNo" differ wildly
in their names. Some use the form USE_XYZ, so a better name might be
USE_MAKE_JOBS. Or CUSTOM_MAKE_JOBS, with yes/no reversed.
