Have TextileConverter pass any arguments set to true in config's redcloth section to RedCloth constructor as an array of symbols.

This means explicitly setting (for example):

  redcloth:
    hard_breaks: false
    lite_mode: true
    no_span_caps: true

will cause RedCloth to be invoked thusly:

  RedCloth.new(content, [:lite_mode, :no_span_caps])

(Notice that hard_breaks is ignored.) This means, however, anything set to true in the redcloth section in _config.yml _will_ be passed to RedCloth. Mayhem may ensue.
