Why not use the same variable/option for both? It sounds simpler to
me.
I thought that too, but on second thought it seems rather difficult: the variable should be set to nil by default in an initialized Emacs (and probably also in temacs), yet we need a way to set it to t based on the configuration option. The simplest solution seems to be to just use two variables.
