/*
        MapSettingsManager is a centralized object for management (creating,
        loading, storing, saving, etc.) of config settings related to the Map.
 
        It has two phases: the initial r/w "gather and modify settings" state, and
        the final r/o "read and save settings" state.
 
        The typical use case is, in order, as follows:
        - Create a MapSettingsManager object
        - Try to load map metadata into it from the metadata file
        - Manually view and modify the current configuration as desired through a
          Settings-like interface
        - When all modifications are finished, create a 'Parameters' object
          containing the finalized, active parameters.  This could be passed along
          to whichever Map-related objects that may require it.
        - Save these active settings to the metadata file when requested
