Comment (by grantpalin):

 Much has been said already about the generous documentation within the PHP
 configuration file. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I'll point out
 that PHP is shipped with two configuration files:

 php.ini-development
 php.ini-production

 With default settings customized for the respective use scenarios. Why not
 do something similar for WordPress' configuration, e.g.

 wp-config.php-development
 wp-config.php-production

 We could then have the appropriate default configuration in each, and
 instruct the user, as PHP does, to rename the appropriate file to wp-
 config.php. New deployments can just copy the production-configured file,
 while developers on their local setups can use the development version.
 Can still have in-file documentation for the settings.
