This is very minor, but for consistency with the existing styles ("line" 
and "wave"), maybe we should use a noun form for the new styles. For 
example "dots", "dashes", and maybe "double-line"? That would hopefully 
be easier for programmers to remember, and leaves the door open for some 
other kind of doubled underline in the future too (e.g. a double wave).
