 Description   

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/#storage.mmapv1.preallocDataFiles

Enable or disable the preallocation of data files. Currently the default.

What does this actually mean? I presume from the earlier "Default: True" line that "enabled" is the default? If so, this is actually not necessarily the case in current versions. It also feels like it clashes with the deprecated status and the statement "Exists for future compatibility and clarity." (should that be "backwards compatibility"?)

As well as fixing the language, this should describe the current behaviour with respect to data file preallocation.
