[PATCH v5 0/4] Fix a bug in configuration parsing, and improve tests and documentation

This series is an evolvement from another recent series, [1] as a result of a decision to fix a longstanding bug in the parsing of configuration option values, instead of documenting the status quo. [2][3]

The bufgix introduced in this series _should_ have no hidden negative effects. All of the configuration-related tests, both the old and the new ones, pass with the patches applied.

In v2, this series had five patches in total, out of which the third patch (i.e. patch 3/5) was dropped in v3. [4] Other changes in each version are described in each patch.

There will most probably be follow-up patches, to address the remaining points raised during the review of this series. [5]
