Not only that, but past a certain complexity of the config, programs should have a way to dump their runtime config to the command line. Yes, I am talking to you, server daemons that take configs from 2-3 different rc-file locations, hardcoded defaults, envvars, the moon phase and the current market value of dried parsnips.
If you don't have a way to simply tell me what your current config is, then you have no earthly right to run it.
