Actually, I think the point Peter's been making is that it's not clear
we need a "user-readable" output format at all. The variant you are
calling --help-config-raw is the only one that needs to be supported in
7.4, and anything else should (arguably) be left off so that it doesn't
constrain a future redesign.
