"Functional" was meant to indicate that the setting actually has an effect. e.g. in 0.25.x, you could only set manifest, not manifestdir, even though it's perfectly sane for environments to support both. There are also settings that are not desirable or feasible to use in an environment block because they're global or don't make sense there. I don't think we've documented any of these subsets.
