Let's make it accept multiple options from the get-go:

fred=on,disable-when,foo,bar,bla...

in case we need to tweak its behavior.

If it is only "fred" it will propagate this way downstream and it'll
lead to confusion later when people have to update their scripts and
config files when "fred" alone doesn't do what they're expecting
anymore.

Thx.
