Uhm... yes, didn't realize about the GrlConfig.

I agree it would lead to confusion. But having longer names is a pain to
type. And doesn't mean that will increase the readability quite a lot.

And providing that users will type more GrlOptions than GrlConfig, if
shorting GrlOptions I would change GrlConfig by GrlPluginConfiguration,
or similar, to avoid confusions.
