I have to disagree.  Much as I think dynamic config is important, RP
is small and simple enough that it is better to do most config at
compile time (on single-user systems anyway).  This is because you get
a faster binary (significantly, I presume), and less bloat.  If RP
took days to recompile (like mozilla or emacs) then i'd agree.  Adding
to RP run-time binding config for internal functions should not be a
high priority.
