I would just expect it to be consistent for that particular variable throughout parameters, variables, SHOW and mysqld.

A YES variable (I never mentioned a NO):

mysql> show global variables like 'updat%';
+----------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------------+-------+
| updatable_views_with_limit | YES |
+----------------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

I didn't know about the --enable, --disable: very interesting!
The --skip is familiar from mysqldump.

For example as --enable-innodb-file-per-table Also, boolean options accept TRUE/FALSE. What option accepts YES/NO ? I couldn't find any. ON/OFF (and DISABLED), as far as I could see, is only accepted by event-scheduler, I'm fixing that. --skip --enable --disable can be used with any boolean option.
For example as --enable-innodb-file-per-table

Also, boolean options accept TRUE/FALSE.
