Comment (by jwgoedert):

 Working on this locally. I decoupled the options so there would be
 explicit check boxes followed by additional related inputs.
 [[Image(https://core.trac.wordpress.org/raw-
 attachment/ticket/31354/WP31354_ChangedSettingsOptions001.png)]]

 I am still uncertain the best way to convey the relation of the 'parent'
 check box element to the affected sub-selections and whether they should
 be visible but disabled or hidden.

 example:'Automatically close comments for old posts' affects whether
 'Number of days to keep old comments' is used, but doesn't necessarily
 have to affect if it is set.

 May pursue the way this is handled on 'Reading Settings' with static page
 selection using a UL for options and disabling selectors.
