+schemacheck: when to let plugins check the database schema to add
+             tables or update them. Values can be 'runtime' (default)
+             or 'script'. 'runtime' can be costly (plugins check the
+             schema on every hit, adding potentially several db
+             queries, some quite long), but not everyone knows how to
+             run a script. If you can, set this to 'script' and run
+             scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install or upgrade a
+             plugin.
