In some other thread, Ville mentioned that settings are often a
symptom of bad design.  I'm glad he made that remark.  It's
provocative, and I think it is a reasonable assertion.  The great
P.J.Plauger once described such settings as akin to an adjustment know
on the back of a TV set.  It's a symptom of potential trouble.

Ville, can you provide the link that you gave in your original post.
I had intended to read it, and now I don't seem to be able to find it.

Having said this, most of Leo's settings come from the contrary
desire, namely never to argue over preferences.  I'd like to create
rules of thumb for when a setting is reasonable, and when it is not.

Edward
