This would be very useful. As far as I know, they only sane way to
handle custom prefs at the moment is with something like:

def register():
    bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)
    library.register()
    config_path = bpy.utils.user_resource('CONFIG', 'my_addon')
    if os.path.exists(config_path):
        print("do config")

Which would rely on some sort of parsing of an external config file..
It's no use if you want prefs to go along with blend files rather than
be system specific.. And you end up having to write a lot of code just
to read / write prefs..
