​I suspect there are many other instances where the docs use "true/false"
to describe a boolean configuration variable while "show" displays
"on/off". restart_after_crash on this same page is one easy to find
example.

​Is there actual confusion here or is this a matter of being exact? false
== off when dealing with a boolean parameter as described at:
