Maybe "unknown" is more used in the API, but when I look at the manpage
"unknown" value as never been used before. On the other hand "default"
as been used twice in the man page. (and one "defaults" and two other
"default" that I'm not sure if they can be in the config file.)

So I would say +2 for default and +1 for unknown.
