Sure, no problem.

I thought as below.
Even if one use a print_percent variable, it will be handled like print-percent.

Also if a user change print_percent variable by perf-config command,
print-percent variable will remain in perfconfig file.
(Because perf-config command will rewrite perfconfig file.)

Is anything wrong ?

Thanks,
