I think Simon's point was that we'd need a different uaReject enum
value internally in the code, so that the place where the message
gets issued would be able to distinguish explicit REJECT entry from
falling off the end of the file.  Changing what the user is expected
to put in the file would be silly.  (I don't care for "rejectverbose"
though.  Maybe uaImplicitReject for the end-of-file case would be
the most readable way.)
