Ahhh, I hadn't noticed that...

So, should it? To me, it kind of makes sense for defaults to be
displayed commented in the config file right after the explanatory text
- for documentation purposes, ie to show what the default setting is,
and to serve as an example of proper syntax - and then anything that is
explicitly set should show in -n output, whether it is explicitly set to
the default setting or not...

But its no big deal, that just how things would be if I were king... ;)
