20040	Refactoring of the settings module to be more modular and extensible	Omer Katz	Omer Katz	"I refactored the settings module to be much more modular and extensible.
It is now possible to switch a Setting class much more easily by injecting it into the LazySettings object's constructor.
This change also introduces the new SettingsCollector class which allows you to control exactly how the settings are being collected from the setting.py module.
It is possible to inject the SettingsCollector class to the Settings class through the constructor as well.
The only thing that is missing in this patch is a method to switch the settings class. That I don't really have an idea how to implement correctly.
This patch oviously needs tests which I didn't have time to write (I spent a full day working on this) and documentation."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Core (Other)	dev	Normal	needsinfo	settings		Unreviewed	1	1	1	0	0	0
