I like the config_color() method.
I think the "config_bool with default" also makes sense but it
needs to be coded a bit carefully. Issues to consider:
(1) Non default form "$r->config_bool('key')" should keep the
original semantics; missing key in the configuration is the
same as false (i.e. "undef" in scalar, () in list context).
(2) What should be the second parameter in the form to default
to true? '1'? 'true'? Any kind of "true" value in Perl
should be accepted?
(3) Same question as (2) but for defaulting to false. Any kind
of "false"?
