I somewhat like this idea.  So let's build a full table, shall
we?  The embedded dashes are meant for the command-line options
rather than the config file.

Good idea, though I'd rather we avoid new convention for multi word
names separated with '-' (multi-word), but rather use camel case
(multiWord).

No disagreement there. :)

Currently we have only unfortunate exception of `add.ignore-errors',

Maybe we can teach the config file parser to ignore dashes in addition
to case (except in the names of [genus "species"] headings)?  That
would be an incompatible change for third-party tools, though, so
maybe "git config" would have to take an explicit --strip-dashes
flag to do it.
