Good idea, though I'd rather we avoid new convention for multi word
names separated with '-' (multi-word), but rather use camel case
(multiWord).

Currently we have only unfortunate exception of `add.ignore-errors',
all others use either same case (`core.ignorecase') or camelCase
(`core.ignoreStat`).
