I also agree that it is best to keep them all in the rc.  I had hoped
that lock_pref would serve that purpose, but it seems it does not.

The thing I don't like about the user_pref/clear_pref combination is
that you have to actively remember to put clear_pref back to unset it;
I'd prefer if you could just comment out the line and have it go back.
Perhaps the solution is a function that calls clear_pref, and then calls
default_pref.  That would wipe any saved user_pref, but if the user is
setting it in his rc, presumably he doesn't want the saved pref anyway.
