When I see "orthogonal", I expect the word describes things that do not correlate. I can see values in the option that gives scope but not path in order to write scripts that limits var-value pairs to be used (e.g. "I do not want to be affected by the per-repository values", "I do not trust settings that comes system-wide"). I also can see values in the option that gives only path when debugging the configuration file. I briefly wondered, for the purpose of such "I do want to see only those settings coming from these scopes" script, it may make more sense to have the command _filter_ the var-value pairs, instead of showing all of them with label, but that feature always exists ;-)
