show_error_context does not work in config file #2964
Description
Looks like the name was changed from hide_error_context, but was unchanged internally. Since the config file settings are copied directly into options the following ini will fail with mypy.ini: [mypy]: Unrecognized option: show_error_context = True
[mypy]
show_error_context = True
hide_error_context = False works as expected.
Possible fix: refactor the internal name to match the external one.

Thanks, good catch. Do you feel comfortable sending a PR yourself?

Probably, but from #2545 it looks like the name wasn't changed for backward compatibility.

Hm, this comment suggests that we thought about changing it but then dropped the thought. The docs state that it's named
show_error_context, and I think that should prevail, regardless of backwards compatibility.Change hide_error_context to show_error_context (#2965)
