I think the original argument is better.  Anyone who uses a CRL[1] is
going to know what it is.  If you call the command something else they
have to search the manual to find out what you have chosen to called
it.  In my opinion it would be better to call it ssl_crl_file so that it
is obvious it expects a file path.
