    I think it's better to use a "positive" name, like
    `byte-compile-print-circle' (defaulting to t).

    Then it's more natural regardless of the default value (I can imagine
    that we might decide to change that later), whereas names like
    "...-disable-..." really only sound right if their default value is nil.

I think it is better if the default is nil, so let's stay with the
current name.
