Yes, after thinking about it adding a value for every option would be  
cumbersome, especially every time a new parameter option was added.   
The reason this question even came about was during my load testing  
when I needed to change the default cache time to see performance  
increases / decreases and in my previous post it also helps with  
generating config files.  In this view however, I was only concerned  
with the default_ttl and did not stop to think about the other  
configuration options.  As it stands the parameter is configurable 3  
ways and the default works fine for me as is.  Although my priority  
is not high for this ,it would be a nice configuration option to  
have.  How do you handle future feature requests? Should I create a  
ticket requesting this feature?
