Currently, only local use preferences use the fields options and explanation.
The normal preferences ignore these fields; they come from the YAML file now
(.pref file).
The use of type is somewhat hybrid. There are still some references in the code
(especially for YesNo), but the preferences script again looks at the YAML
file.

My question is: Saving a pref file for the local use prefs does not seem an
option (at least from the web interface). But could we move them elsewhere?
Separate table? Another idea?

If you would delete a regular pref from the yaml file now, but not from the
database, it will popup without an explanation or an older one and perhaps
without options or older options in the local use tab.

How do you think that we should resolve this situation best?
