OK, with one comment:

> +* Options that when set to 0 or -1 are handled specially as meaning
> +  unlimited now also accept being set to literal "unlimited".  E.g.,

> +  "set height 0".

That first sentence took me 3 readings to understand.  How about the
following wording instead:

  You can now use a literal value 'unlimited' for options that
  interpret 0 or -1 as meaning "unlimited".

Thanks.
