A semicolon should be used without a conjunction, and the parts of a
sentence joined by a semicolon should be independent clauses. So this
should probably be
[...] The value
"now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
unreachable objects immediately, or "never" may be used to
suppress pruning.

The same here.

Similarly, this could be fixed to
[...] The value "all" expires all
entries; "false" disables expiration. [...]

The same here.
Also, I wonder why you suggest "now"/"never" for the first two settings,
but "all"/"false" for the second two. Wouldn't it be less confusing to
be consistent?
