I do not think I mentioned anything about the name of the configuration variable, but if I did that was a mistake. End-user facing configuration variables are often named after a feature that it enables or disables, so it can use the name without "enable". An int variable on the other hand can mean many other things, ranging from "how many times have we prefetched from here" to "does this remote allow prefetching?", so a more explicit name would often help. Thanks.
