This class makes the default values go in through the configuration buffer instead of just the value set on the actual object. This is useful for dependency checking and also for reporting the source location of a particular configuration value when there is some sort of a conflict between two values; i.e. "X (set in defaults) must be disabled to use Y (set on command line)" The other (main) reason it is used is for the FileConfigurator.formatBuffer - since getters aren't part of the config system, the only values that can be printed are ones set via the config setters. Since its handy to be able to generate a full config file based on current settings, having the default values set here makes the defaults show up too. Although the decentralization of the various config objects is somewhat broken by this class, if you consider it to be basically a "baked in config file", then it might feel less strange. In the end, if it is too much of a pain, don't worry about it, just set your local defaults inside your configuration object. No big deal.
