Description

So, I've been kind of looking at getting this working:

workspace 'foo'
     rtti 'on'

    project 'bar'
         filter { 'rtti:on' }
            <dosomething here>

The easy thing is to just add rtti and the other things I want to the filter context, but that is obviously kind of arbitrary... So I was wondering if anyone has a decent idea on how to generalize this to all api's?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by tracing how the existing rtti setting is represented and how filter contexts consume settings, using the workspace/project example as the entry point; done would require an agreed general mechanism for exposing settings to filters, with behavior validated for rtti and other APIs.
