Generally overriding Lisp values would be a great feature, but I feel 
that this
implementation seems to promise that you can set any lisp value there.  
This would
lead to a large overhead, because every command would have to locally 
parse
before execution.  Also there would be uncertainties because many 
commands
act on several items etc.
I am not yet convinced that this is useful enough - so for the
time being I will stick with the LOGGING property.

Thanks for all comments!
