Users (the chunk of meat type) should not have access to configuration 
files.

Developers should know the human language the project is being developed 
in (and it should be English).

As far as a configuration file goes, supporting only 1 and 0 for true 
and false is good enough.

This "globally-connected paranoia" would justify having

      rotating = ee

In public codebases. What is ee? True? False? A number?
