This is achieved by good design practice.

That's not good design, as it shows. It's readable but not
understandable. And it needs a nicely written man page, of course,
so users can understand what they read. Simple, isn't it? <g>

I guess that that depends on the functionality of the tool itself, i.e.,
small tools will have small config files, and huge tools will have what
they deserve... ;-)
