The most gentle first step would be to try to turn the existing config
options where you can override cli-options into some declarative thing
from the current ad-hoc code we have for each one.

That would be no change in behavior, but would make it easier to
migrate more things in the future.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It does not change anything for the users,
but it makes the implementation less annoying.

Yup, as long as that declarative thing (presumably it would hook
into parse-options that is already sort of declarative) allows some
command line options not overridable with configuration, I think it
would be OK.

I do not think anybody wants to see "reset --hard" and turn it into
"[reset] hard = yes" configuration, and we should not even allow for
that.
