Its downside is that the variable can then be defined in more than one
place, with potentially different/out-of-sync values, depending on load
order.  This makes debugging and maintenance a bit harder.  Using
bound-and-true-p would have achieved the same effect while keeping the
user option squarely defined in a single place.  But Eli's patch
generalises even further.

Thanks,
