If it is useful for the users, then fine, I'm not against it. But I
really dislike the "Advanced" tab because it is completely different
than the other tabs.

What's the point on having both strings and options repeated? It
would be much nicer if "Advanced" was like "General" (for example):
checkboxes only.

I don't think we should add any string to the 1.0 branch unless it is
_really_ needed: fix, typo...
