/** <module> Setting management

This library allows management  of   configuration  settings  for Prolog
applications. Applications define settings  in   one  or  multiple files
using the directive setting/4 as illustrated below:

==
:- use_module(library(settings)).

:- setting(version, atom,   '1.0', 'Current version').
:- setting(timeout, number,    20, 'Timeout in seconds').
==

The directive is subject to   term_expansion/2,  which guarantees proper
synchronisation of the  database  if   source-files  are  reloaded. This
implies it is *not* possible to call setting/4 as a predicate.

Settings are local to a  module.  This   implies  they  are defined in a
two-level namespace. Managing settings  per   module  greatly simplifies
assembling large applications from multiple   modules that configuration
through  settings.  This  settings  management  library  ensures  proper
access, loading and saving of settings.

@see    library(config) distributed with XPCE provides an alternative
        aimed at graphical applications.
