Sure. However, the same can be achieved with fairly simple Elisp, as you
saw in the earlier messages. I do not clearly see how a significant
number of users can really benefit from this command. Most people will
simply not notice it. Beginners should better use customize interface.
Power users can just write elisp.

The only way I can see the proposed approach useful is creating a
unified framework to set various non-trivial Org options programatically
(like org-agenda-custom-commands). I would be in favour of merging such
framework, but not individual commands. Having convenience setters for
some customisations, but not other will be just confusing. Org already
has a huge number of cusomisations.

Alternatively, if many people jump in and say that your idea is very for
them, the patch can be merged.

There is not much point discussing this part given the above issue I
raised.

Best,
