This makes it unclear to what extent the variable affects `duplicate-dwim`.
(For some reason it only does so when the region is inactive, which doesn't
seem right.)
And I agree that allowing any integer as value isn't necessary the best choice
here. It's a false flexibility; nobody will ever set it to something other than
0, 1 or -1. Symbols would probably be better, for several reasons.
Finally, it's a bit surprising that this is even discussed for inclusion in
Emacs 29 at this stage, given the raw state of the design. What about we do a
proper job on master instead, instead of rushing a half-baked new feature into
a branch that is already deep into pre-release?
