One thing that I like about Courier components is its "sysconftool"
approach that allows to add or remove parameters/examples/defaults to
the configuration file as the software changes. If the concept supported
rewriting the configuration file, without losing user customizations,
but adding new parameters and their documentation, that'd be really
helpful.
