Description

Is `man taskrc` meant to report current values, or default values?

The format looks like this

```
x=y
May be "y" or "z". This setting is to indicate the positioning of the widget. The default value is "z".
```
I check the current, local and default value, and it's `x=z`. I'm curious what `x=y` is meant to represent, especially as it's hardcoded into the manual.

Was that line to represent the default value, or the local value? If it represents the default value, then it is redundant to the last line describing the default value, which I won't protest to. If it's meant to represent the local value, it's hard-coded.

Here is the specific example:

```
> task show | grep all.tags
complete.all.tags 0
list.all.tags 0
> man taskrc
...
complete.all.tags=1
May be "1" or "0", and determines whether the tab completion scripts
consider all the tag names you have used, or just the ones used in active
tasks. The default value is "0".
list.all.tags=1
May be "1" or "0", and determines whether the 'tags' command lists all
the tag names you have used, or just the ones used in active tasks. The
default value is "0".
```
