   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.
   One thing that is really missing here is additional data for the
   evaluator. This could be useful to add minimum and maximum values for
   integers, for example. */
