Are you saying that you would prefer this to be a bool, so hat you can
give it a "false" value? Or you are simply saying "it walks like a
boolean, quacks like a boolean, let's use the boolean accessor"?

Right, I don't think I commented on your suggestion to make the size of
the guard page configurable. I am not aware of any current or upcoming
reasons for adding such complexity, so I'd simply prefer to stick with a
boolean. Should that need arise, I think this model would allow
extension to express that.
