It's done that from day one with rc.d since foo_enable variables are checked
with checkyesno().  If we wanted to not have to set them, adding a default
argument to checkyesno is certainly easy enough to do following the pattern in
network.subr's get_if_var(), but I'm not sure it would be of much value.
