   Settings code cleanup in #15934 uncovered some surprising ways settings are being interpreted.

   Most or all of unexpected behaviors should be possible to simplify in some followup changes, and this issue tracks the followups:

   Bug	Fix	Notes
   Ignored network-qualified arguments	#17482	Release notes (Command line)
   Ignored chain arguments	tbd
   Reversed config precedence	#17581	Release notes (Configuration file). PR depends on #17493 to disallow multiple config assignments, which depends #17556 to fix a fragile python test and #17580 to apply ALLOW_LIST flags, which depends on #16545 to implement ALLOW_LIST flags
   Misapplied default section config values	tbd
   Zombie config values	tbd
