It would be nice for the user. However, it would mean all hidden prefs
would need to be made reloadable. I don't want to do that really.
The feature could still be implemented, but require that the user
restart after editing a setting. An info area could be shown reminding
the user to restart.
Perhaps the feature should be implemented as a plugin, but could be
shipped with Geany.
