I want that to work. When I write "no something" in my config file, I
don't mean "I assert that there used to be a 'something', but I'd like
to remove it now", I mean simply "I don't want a 'something'".
I find it quite frustrating that
include GENERIC
no foo
no options BAR
works one day, but fails the next day after somebody deletes 'foo at
wherever' or 'options BAR' from GENERIC.
I'd also like
foo* at bar?
foo* at bar?
options BAZ
options BAZ
file-system BOO
file-system BOO
to be accepted, for similar reasons.
