I vaguely recall complaints on the command line argument that used
to take -1 to mean "practically unlimited" when its parsing got
tightened.  I wouldn't be surprised if we are making a new issue in
the same category in the configuration file with this change.

But we can switch to the signed variant when it becomes an issue, I
guess.
