 `control-spec.txt` says `GETCONF` takes at least one argument. Tor
 currently allows there to be zero arguments for `GETCONF`. If there are
 zero arguments, it replies with `250 OK`. A reply with a keyword and no
 `=` can mean that a configuration variable has its default value. We've
 therefore committed to having no configuration variables named `OK`. I
 suppose that's OK.

 Probably the easiest thing to do is to document the existing behavior.
