[webkit-efl] ewk_view settings implementation

[Tomasz Morawski]

Hello,
I also think that it is a great proposition of change that will simplify 
use of API by end user (only two consistent functions to renember) and 
reduce header code size. Personally, I don't like current settings API 
that is just horrible for me. Yes, I also agree that it is not EFL API 
style but good changes in API style that we are trying to introduce here 
should by also considered by the EFL community too.

> Fully agree. But this is the api of Eina_Value which should be simplified.
I also agree, this should be changed.

Anyway, we will use Eina_Value in the near future in other parts of our 
API also (please refer to bug: 
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77337 and look at Comment #12 
 From Raphael Kubo da Costa (rakuco). Rapheal convince me to use 
Eina_Value in API.) Now, I don't know why we should use Eina_Value for 
js API but we should not use it for new setting API. This is not 
consistent! If it is only case of initialization issue (2 steps) the API 
of Eina_Value should be
fixed or we should accept this limitation and use it anyway.

Best Regards,
Tomasz
