120,Expose Prefs programmatically,acfoltzer,,"Currently, the constructors for the Prefs record are opaque. Therefore, if a client application wishes to programmatically set non-default preferences, the only safe way is to write out a temp file in the .haskeline format, then read it back in. 

It would be much simpler to either expose the constructors, or provide an API for changing the settings directly. I notice that older versions exposed this module, so perhaps there is a reason for keeping the actual constructors hidden while exposing enough to client code.",enhancement,new,minor,,,,,
