it reflects the setting at the tex level and those are numbers (and who
knows if at some point 2 will used too)

that would indicate a variable i.e. pdf.ignoreunknownimages = 1 and we
deliberately use setters/getters instead of virtual keys (more flexible)

Wasn't that one gone for ages? (And i think that particular long names
was chosen in order to avoid some conflicts with something i forgot by
now ... i always aliased it to the original shorter name.)

so you like pdf.iui more .. forget about it, verbose names is what you
get (and some currently short ones might even get verbose) .. these
names are the same as at the tex end (otherwise we need to document two
sets of variables)

like \pdfiui and so ... settings like this are normally done one and
probably in a macro package so no user ever sees them (or knows about them)
and as we're taking tex / lua, nothing prevents you or a macro package
to provide short names like
pdf.iui = pdf.setignoreunknownimages
pdf.ignoreunknownimages = pdf.setignoreunknownimages
or whatever suits you best

ps. Lucky you that we don't use dutch or german in the interface ...
much longer words then. You'd be better off with french.
