Comment (by vbraun):

 The `DisplayPreferences` right now does the following:
 {{{
 sage: prefs = DisplayPreferences()
 sage: prefs.text = 'ascii_art'  # dot-notation for tab completion
 sage: prefs                     # nice output
 Display preferences:
 * graphics is not specified
 * text = ascii_art
 sage: prefs.text?               # help documents setting and lists allowed
 values
 sage: prefs.text = 'foo'        # validates
 Traceback (most recent call last)
 ...
 ValueError: value must be unset (None) or one of ('plain', 'ascii_art',
 'latex'), got foo
 }}}
 What is IMHO missing is a nice syntax to declare your own preferences and
 validation for anything that is not a choice out of a finite list of
 strings. I'd rather have tab-completion and built-in help with `?` than
 dictionary notation.
