Yesterday I've refactored Settings to be backend-based, a backend
being a couple of template instantiations which implement the
serialization and deserialization logic.
The next step (I'll tackle it this evening if I have time) is to
implement a KConfig backend. This way my class would act as a wrapper
for the KConfig framework, and provide the additional features, like
subgrouping, arrays and maps, plus the more convenient syntax, with no
change in existing configuration files.
