While I agree with the overall direction, I was wondering how this
relates to string and int/hex options. It appears that they either
have a value or are not written to the .config at all, for example,
if the option is disabled via the `depends on` attribute. At first
I thought this would be inconsistent (i.e., =n for bool and omitted
for string), but it appears a disabled bool option is also omitted.
Hopefully the fact that sometimes a false bool option is =n and
sometimes it's omitted won't surprise anyone.
