OK. That would have us parse the contents of each parameter in Defaults,
though, and in my man sudoers, I can count 31 flags, 1 integer, 4
integer/boolean, 10 strings, 17 strings/boolean, 3 lists/boolean.

That makes quite a bit of work, although it surely add nice functionality.

It could also make the lens much slower.
