 Almost true. :) The (dummy) {{{None}}} write actually prints out the
 values for debugging; they show up in the {{{WriterInfo::config}}
 table, see {{{logging/writers/None.cc}}}, lines 24-25.

 Not really (but I appreciate you asking!). As these are
 writer-specific values, we don't need to standardize them much but
 what you suggest sounds good: lower-cased with underscores, T/F for
 boolean values.

 Bernhard, please chime in if you have thoughts (he's using the
 equivalent mechanism for Input Framework readers).
