This makes it unclear to what extent the variable affects `duplicate-dwim`. (For some reason it only does so when the region is inactive, which doesn't seem right.)
And I agree that allowing any integer as value isn't necessary the best choice here. It's a false flexibility; nobody will ever set it to something other than 0, 1 or -1. Symbols would probably be better, for several reasons.
Finally, it's a bit surprising that this is even discussed for inclusion in Emacs 29 at this stage, given the raw state of the design. What about we do a proper job on master instead, instead of rushing a half-baked new feature into a branch that is already deep into pre-release?
