Dan - I don't mind what the function is called. :-)

I am trying to find a way for setting default values used in a script.
A plugin script could set a bunch of variables as defaults, or set an
array. Now the mechanism I was looking for will allow any of these
settings to be overridden (not used) if it is already set. And it
could be set in a config file or in site.config.

The script I propose will do just that: it will load the values from
different sources into the variable. In a way it does what BOLTconfig
does, but more, as it also checks if  a value is set in a config file,
and it sets the variable directly, even as an array, and does not kill
any key => values not set in a config file or site.config.

As for variables which should not be set in site.config:
The function checks first if the var is set in a config file. If it
is, a setting of it in site.config is ignored. The file has priority
over site.config, which has priority over the default supplied to the
function (the value set in the plugin as default).

I don't see anything backward in this approach.

cheers
Hans
