   so far pretty useful.

   In short, it just keeps a linked list of settings/variables and it also
   remembers a default value for every setting. And to prevent the user
   from setting invalid values, you can write an evaluator function for
   every setting, which can check a new value and block it by returning
   NULL, or replace it by returning a new value. See struct set.eval. */
