I'm not aware of this problem. Could you give an example to demonstrate
that bug? (There are currently only a few Python functions
(CFPython.GetXxxDirectory) that access the settings structure. But I
can't think of any problem here because these functions are very simple:
they just return "settings.xxxdir".)

There are more than 50 variables in the settings structure. For most of
these variables, I can't see how they could be of any use to a script.
Therefore I would rather not add callbacks for all variables but just
add callbacks for variables that are actually needed.
