Yeah.  Right now they're only used by unit plan execution, and are
only settable from game designs, but the intent of making them part
of doctrine was to allow players to customize via preferences.
It's not clear that it's all that valuable though, there's no game
for which any are set except for tailhook.g, and there it's commented
out with no explanation - so presumably you didn't find it all that
helpful either?
