Thats a powerful idea, is there a new feature JIRA for this on the LL
pJIRA currenty? if not could I kindly ask you to create one for it and
post the issue number back here.

The problem comes is its not just a case of updating the
gSavedSettings with new values (which would be very easy to do in the
way you have described). Many of the settings need "applying" in some
way to push the correct values to the correct place, many of the debug
settings would just work but some would not and thats where the work
for this feature would start, but i do like where you are comming from
with this.
