Really?

I would consider it configuration -- even "high level" configuration.

I do not agree with this (but I also do not agree with
"explicit is better tham implicit" -- almost all activities
would become drastically more difficult if they could only be
done explicitly: walking, driving, eating, ... I am very happy
that most things, in real life and in programming work implicitly
and on an appropriate abstract level).
