not sure if config settings and internal run state/function params/return
values are that important to have identically named, or am I missing something?

yeah, I'd prefer either a format string with a default key:

memory: [current=]\d+[,max=\d+]

or:

memory: ...
memory-max: ...

Keeping the common prefix first groups those settings close together on
alphabetical sorting in API docs or CLI usage, making it easier to find
for users and having an actual separator is just nicer in general.
