Then, we will have a link at the bottom or an icon in the tab panel.
Clicking on it will show user preferences used on current page, with
links leading to preferences page where clicked setting would be
highlighted.

$cfg array (or at least all reads for user customizable settings)
through some function, then in the footer all read keys can be easily
accessed.
