I don't believe so.  But those variables are right in the file you're
editing, while emacs-settings.el lives outside the buffer, so it's not
as visible to the user.  That's the difference in scope that made me
think hiding the file would be a bad idea.

Sure, as long as it's possible to filter it out :)
