Hello

Sorry for not responding earlier. It seems to me that although the issue
makes sense and deserves some solution, the approach in the patch is not
the right one. There are other properties that could be changed in
runtime (e.g. debug), possibly more in the future, and we do not want to
make such options for all of them. IMHO more appropriate solution would
be to have some option for the configure command that decides whether
such changes in general should be kept or reset (analogously we have
'configure soft' for filters).
