Of course it's possible. It's just that we need to resolve a philosophical 
question, first. Please, everyone wade in on this issue. I really would like to 
resolve it.

Right now, blrtty.conf sets system defaults which can be overridden with 
command line options. None of the saved preferences can be overridden with 
command line options. So, how do we interpret the current table settings if 
they can be in both brltty.conf and the saved preferences? We could simply say 
that the settings saved in the preferences override the ones in brltty.conf, 
with the understanding that this would take effect as soon as the preferences 
are saved for the first time? Is that really acceptable, though? Mightn't it 
become too confusing?
