Comment (by carljm):
If we document any settings as "safe to change at runtime", we'd better
also document that changing settings at runtime (even the otherwise "safe"
ones) is not safe in a multi-threaded hosting environment (or concurrent
requests can easily get the wrong setting value).
Given the number of people hosting in such an environment who may not even
realize it, I'm not sure we should be documenting anything that encourages
changing settings at runtime, until we (pie in the sky) fix settings so
they aren't a global.
