This would only be a name change since you would still have to set it.
I want defaults for "standard" options like this with a way to override
them. A defaults file could be included to get the defaults (after fixing
the bugs in the include directive). Then it there should be a cleaner
way of overriding the options than this current way:
options SCHED_4BSD # Default (from include file).
#nooptions SCHED_4BSD # Have to know name of old opt to turn it off.
nooption SCHED_4BSD # Actual spelling of directive is astonishing.
options SCHED_ULE # Set new option.
