I didn't ask that because looking at the libraries/Config.php site_url() method, the setting will have little relevance unless you have really, really renamed your index.php file to something else. In that case, your .htaccess file will still thwart your efforts here anyway.
if you need proof of this, please set up a little test bed and test it. you will see this setting has no effect.
