To reduce the problem about sharing code, all the custom settings could be saved in a dictionary and a simple call to your own dictionary would restore your own custom settings again.
I see your point about reduced compatibility between different people's code, though. I'd still much more prefer this to a change in the default behaviour that would break my own code without providing a way of reverting this change to run my old code.
