> The reason for trying to keep some distance from QSettings is exactly that it has flaws and issues. I don't want to be *forced* to use it or re-implement it. Ideally, the backend will be handled by a platform-specific plugin that is *not* QSettings or based on it.

QSettings could be extended to support json too though.

Why?  We wouldn't lose the ability to read and write the same data
stores that QSettings does?  I think the registry is not considered
obsolete yet on Windows, as ugly as it is?
