Or is a response file something else? In that case, maybe that should be mentioned, as I think for lots of users this is enough.

Quoting the docs:

A response file is just a configuration file which uses the same syntax as the command line

So, response file might contain:

--foo=bar

while regular config file has different syntax. Also, it is typical to use response files with the @filename syntax, which is also not readily available.

Ah. So: "In that case, maybe that should be mentioned, as I think for lots of users this is enough."
