[d5ccd83]26/* This used to be specific to irc_t structures, but it's more generic now
27   (so it can also be used for account_t structs). It's pretty simple, but
28   so far pretty useful.
29   
30   In short, it just keeps a linked list of settings/variables and it also
31   remembers a default value for every setting. And to prevent the user
32   from setting invalid values, you can write an evaluator function for
33   every setting, which can check a new value and block it by returning
[723e611]34   NULL, or replace it by returning a new value. See struct set.eval.
35   One thing that is really missing here is additional data for the
36   evaluator. This could be useful to add minimum and maximum values for
37   integers, for example. */
