Comment (by nacin):

 I wanted to get this in. What still needs review after [21838] —

  * The text/language in general.

  * Whether we can invert the checkbox, as the options for language is
 better when inverted. I think we can get away with this if we set
 value="0" on the box and then in sanitize_option() convert === null to 1.
 (As options.php uses 'null' when nothing is posted... The fix in [21292]
 makes this actually distinguishable now.)

  * Whether we should register this whole option using
 add_settings_field(), to hypothetically allow it to be unhooked. Note that
 there's no actual API for removing fields and sections, but I'd consider
 that to be good enough for now. Note also #21507.
