That's different.  "no nonexistent" currently fails.

Everyone seems to have a different opinion of how config(1) should
behave.  I've been hacking it for a while now, and I don't think I
actually use any of the features I've been adding over the year.  They
never added enough value to me.  Except maybe "obsolete def...", but
that's not something the end user sees.

I do wish people would start doing whatever is necessary to use
config -L as a regression test suite builder, though, instead of feeling
the pain of maintaining ALL, which is i386-only.

In any case, fixing the current bug and your frustrations can probably
be done in one go.  I'll see how I'll do it.
