It's there already, same names for yum.conf.  Though now it takes only 
numbers which is not as convenient. Something like this might be better:
if isinstance(self._getoption('main','syslog_facility'),int):
    self.syslog_facility=self._getoption('main','syslog_facility')
else:
    self.syslog_facility=eval('syslog.' + 
self._getoption('main','syslog_facility'))
....

This way it would accept symbolic names.
