Description Sam Weinig 2017-09-29 21:00:00 PDT 
Currently, InternalSettingsGenerated.idl has an operation for each generated setting of the form set{SettingName}(value). This is awkward and provides no means to access the initial value via a getter. 

A more natural way to express this would be with an IDL attribute instead.

Changing to attributes is easy. Updating all the existing tests will be annoying.
