Thinking on it a bit more, one argument in favor of having enums or
variables or whatever is that we _do_ need a master list of all of the
variables in one spot: the documentation.

So one direction we _could_ go is either generating the enum from the
documentation or vice versa (or generating both from a master list).
That would give us one place to define a new key along with its
description.
