Almost certainly, IIUC its a hash table, and quarks (derived from the schema) are used as the hash values of strings.

But hopefully there will be enough commonality to have a few types of callback to do most of the settings, with the user_data controlling them, and the few which are unique can always have their own specific callback to avoid both switches or comparisons.  

If that doesn't work out then fall back to a callback per setting, but if I were doing that it would be riddled with cut and paste errors :)
