[PEAK] plugins, dynamic module loading

[darryl]

Question:

Config files are 'read-only' or at least so-much as the support
that peak provides is for reading.

If i'm keeping config values in an ini file and wish to
write out changed config values for the next time
the app runs, is there a preferred peak-ish way for this?

Also is there a way to re-read a config file.
i.e. if i do a

binding.Obtain(PropertyName('bot.modules'))

and then later edit the ini file can i re-Obtain the values?
