config: values of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional)
Sometimes people want to specify additional configuration data
as "best effort" basis. Maybe commit.template configuration file points
at somewhere in ~/template/ but on a particular system, the file may not
exist and the user may be OK without using the template in such a case.
When the value given to a configuration variable whose type is
pathname wants to signal such an optional file, it can be marked by
prepending ":(optional)" in front of it. Such a setting that is
marked optional would avoid getting the command barf for a missing
file, as an optional configuration setting that names a missing
file is not even seen.
