Based on our earlier discussions I don't think properties are the way to 
go here but shortening those method names is definitely a must! I think 
a table based approach is worth considering. All config variables, with 
types, defaults etc would be defined in big table.

There's a few tricky issues to figure out so I'd like to do some 
prototyping before going much further. This has been and is still on my 
yum todo list. I may try attacking this soon and send some patches for 
comment.
