/**
 * The Config class provides Nix runtime configurations.
 *
 * What is a Configuration?
 *   A collection of uniquely named Settings.
 *
 * What is a Setting?
 *   Each property that you can set in a configuration corresponds to a
 *   `Setting`. A setting records value and description of a property
 *   with a default and optional aliases.
 *
 * A valid configuration consists of settings that are registered to a
 * `Config` object instance:
 *
 *   Config config;
 *   Setting<std::string> systemSetting{&config, "x86_64-linux", "system", "the current system"};
 *
 * The above creates a `Config` object and registers a setting called "system"
 * via the variable `systemSetting` with it. The setting defaults to the string
 * "x86_64-linux", it's description is "the current system". All of the
 * registered settings can then be accessed as shown below:
 *
 *   std::map<std::string, Config::SettingInfo> settings;
 *   config.getSettings(settings);
 *   config["system"].description == "the current system"
 *   config["system"].value == "x86_64-linux"
 *
 *
 * The above retrieves all currently known settings from the `Config` object
 * and adds them to the `settings` map.
