Good point.  I wonder if default-command-arguments is too long.  I'll
move this particular discussion point over to IRC.

Agreed.

I like the shellwords approach because it makes the configuration
directive look like the default command-line that I want.  For other
config options, I think YAML's array syntax will be better.

According to the YAML 1.1 spec, the first YAML document in a YAML stream
doesn't require a preceding "document boundary marker" ("---").  So I
guess I've just developed a lazy habit of leaving it out.
