It’d certainly be better for situations where we’re saving lists, etc.  Is the JSON stuff all in so I could play around with that now, or do I need to wait a bit?

I was not planning on removing those and have everywhere that writes settings just write to the JSON object directly.  If you think that would be better for some situations, feel free to play around with that approach.
