The intention of the feature was to be accessible by all users, and to easily allow access to 'advanced' features.

It has been against the Wesnoth philosophy from the beginning to try to hide features from users or stop them from cheating in single player games.

As I already pointed out in my last mail, I don't think that the
"Advanced" tab should be distributed to the public.

It was added by Dave after a general hum that there were some options that
it would be nice to be able to add in a general fashion.  I don't think
it is meant to be the final form of the feature, but as a demonstration
of how to add features where much of the work is done in WML, and perhaps
a test bed of proposed new options that might or might not make it into
the game.  Apologies if I misinterpreted Dave's intentions.

The two options that are currently there are for the convenience of
developers.  Perhaps we should enable the Advanced prefs only if the
game is in debug mode.

I think the design of the game hasn't focused on making cheating
difficult -- Dave has said this in many forum postings.  Therefore,
retrofitting cheat protection that offers realistic protection before
1.0 seems infeasible.  I suggest we postpone worrying about cheating
until after 1.0, when a refactoring is probably in order anyway.
