But it's implicit consequence of what "save" does: it save all the 
settings.  All of them.  So yes, loading that file again should restore 
them all, otherwise, we can't really say we "saved" them.

I think the code in 'save.c' actually goes to quite some length to make 
sure this doesn't happen.  It took several iterations to get that right, 
too, as a quick look over the cvs log of save.c will reveal.
