Because file settings are usually bound to a specific application. I
think it might be beneficial to have a standard method for this
because:
a) finding the settings of a certain app and vice versa - have a look
to config/settings and try to map the files in there to existing apps
b) removing the settings when removing an application from your disk
c) probably having one file format for all settings files
Wouldn't be session support something like flattening the whole running
app?
See? That's why we're doing R5 first ;-)
