Who's that dim? D'oh.
Another compromise might be to allow for defining variable in any class
from the configuration files but restrict that to existing classes from
the SET command. Wait, that's exactly what happens as soon as there's
no explicit custom_variable_classes, right?
So we're talking about people with configuration file editing and reload
powers, not about anyone who can connect. I think that's ok.
