fwiw, i agree with ethan on this. from the admin/user standpoint i
think that the mostly likely situation when there is overlap between the
cmdline and ini file is when the admin/user is trying to override
something.
does the dev reference currently say what should happen when config
options are duplicated? if not i think we could make the clarification
a moot point if we simply said that (for options that don't allow
multiple declarations like -e in check_tcp, do we care about that?) the
first option takes precedence, and require that the extra-config is
parsed second.
