Be clearer about password settings being intentionally hidden (and not
really empty). Bug #657 and confusing BitlBee users since probably 2002.

34   
35   In short, it just keeps a linked list of settings/variables and it also
36   remembers a default value for every setting. And to prevent the user
37   from setting invalid values, you can write an evaluator function for
38   every setting, which can check a new value and block it by returning
39   NULL, or replace it by returning a new value. See struct set.eval. */
