Thinking about this request I remembered I actually had the same idea while writing these scripts. Since I still arrive at the same conclusion now as then, I'm declining this request due to the following two reasons:

- It is by no means guaranteed that custom settings are actually set via the "set" command, take e.g. my old nickserv.tcl script
- Each custom script provides its own iface2 commands and I don't see any clean way to provide override commands for them, especially when you consider that they might have their own input validation.

I do agree however that the provision of settings via tcl scripts needs to be revamped and I already wrote a feature request for it. This will however only be considered for version 1.4 and then implemented directly in the tcl module along with a new bind structure.
