How about format.hideAbbrevDots that defaults to false? Then you can write in the config file:

    [format]
         hideAbbrevDots
(note: without '= true').

Even though I usually detest double negations (and I would count hideAbbrevDots=false as one), the ability to set the non-default value of a Boolean variable in this way trumps my taste.
