Could we make it more clear here that "all" is the only supported value?
IIUC any other value will just get the default behavior. Just reading
the doc as-is, I worry that users might expect that they can add
specific refs / ref-patterns that would be added to the filter.

Perhaps that's a sign that the config key is poorly named. I had
considered other options:

* log.decorateFilterMode (seemed too long)
* log.decorateMode (hard to distinguish from log.decorate)

Perhaps we could leave this as a boolean config with the name
'log.decorateHiddenRefs' with default being 'false'? I'd love to
explore other options.
