Re: [development] DEP - cascading variable system

My number one feature request for variable handling in Drupal is this: 1. Every variable has its default value defined in ONE place (e.g. perhaps inside hook_init() for each module, have function calls such as "variable_define('some_value', 42);", where 42 is the default value). 2. Remove that evil second argument from variable_get(). Default values should not be repeated every time a variable is used. Regarding the actual proposal of a cascading variable system, sounds good to me! If variables can be overridden in multiple layers, in such a way that module authors don't get really confused, that will certainly improve the system. Jaza.
