Thank you Wolfgang for this explanation.
Do you mean: global (i.e. \define…[..,..=..,..] and local
(i.e. \setup…[…][..,..=..,..]) settings?

OK, but is this a good idea?
I thought that mkii is kept around for backward compatibility
and that mkiv takes the liberty to rationalize the syntax,
sometimes sacrificing backwards compatibility in order not to be
encumbered with inconsistent syntax, whenever possible.
Indeed, this sometimes generates much discussion on the mailing list
when we discover that our favorite command has been removed
or renamed - a good way of testing to see if we are active and alert. :)
