Now more seriously, it's already there. All the settings stuff I did in the core is just for this. We use POPFs :) (plain old property files) for this. See [1] for the introduction. Now I'm thinking of extending that mechanism to include several block specific property files. See also my response to Upayavira [2] which should show that using properties enables a lot of nice things. (Hopefully I succeeded there). And all this is still compatible with the 2.1.x way of doing things!
