  :=) No idea, for each setting you now dow a hash lookup.
  We could optimize that to use a vector with the enum as index, given we enumerate them from 0...
  But I think we can only judge that after one has converted close to all things.

  I think we can just add a second key for that to the ConfigEntry specifying its name there

  We can use the same key there and we have with the defaultValue QVariant even the type of the config entry.
  Reset is easy, too, as we just can clear it from the hash (for the local configs), for the global config I don't think it makes sense (we could go to the hard-coded default, thought)

  Same as above, either extra key or "CamlCase" the key we use for the command-line/kate: var line

  :=) Yes, and that is clever.
  I think given we now encode each config entry as "data", it should be easy to add all these things.
