The configuration expressed as a single option is semantically  
identical to the configuration split as two separately labelled  
options.  In the split-out case, join the two options with a colon and  
then proceed as in the single-option case.  You're pointing out that  
not all combinations are safe -- so the code should error out on  
unsafe combinations.

Splitting the options with meaningful labels helps in making the  
configuration self-documenting.  I know I'll have to look up the  
documentation each time to figure out the position meanings of  
"crlf:lf", especially since I'll only (hopefully) rarely need to look  
at this option.
