Description of the need
Of all the config management functions that are wrappers for Config objects, only conifg() takes a $type parameter to look config storage besides the active storage.
For consistency, I'd like to see the others take an optional $type with a matching default.
function config($config_file, $type = 'active')
function config_clear($config_file, $option)
function config_is_overridden($config_file, $option)
function config_get($config_file, $option = NULL)
function config_get_translated($config_file, $option = NULL, $args = array(), $options = array())
function config_set($config_file, $option, $value)
function config_set_multiple($config_file, $options)
Proposed solution
Add an optional $type = 'active' to any config_*() function that calls config($config_file) with the passed in $config_file
See #3902.
