 * This API allows registering new settings and setting sections, as well as getting and setting settings. Once a setting has been registered it will appear in the config screen and be editable by the user.

 * Note: Currently this API does **not** provide access to Joplin's built-in settings. This is by design as plugins that modify user settings could give unexpected results
