When I hear "lookup-value", the first thing I would expect was
"look-up by value" (i.e. the reverse look-up to find key). That is
not what is going on.
What is presented here is "does the key have corresponding value
defined in the configuration system, yes/no?", isn't it?
I would expect such a function to be named *_config_key_exists().

This must be documented, especially if we give it such a bad name ;-).
