You're right Juan, this is the way this should be done indeed.
Whenever there are variables to be changed by the admin, the config
machinery is the way to go.

And you're right Nick, this doesn't work yet, but this is a conscious
temporary shortcoming we've accepted, to get things going. The
relation-get/set commands will eventually be usable anywhere inside
the unit environment, even outside of any hooks. Of course, you'll
have to explicitly identify the relation being addressed, but the
underlying functionality will be supported.
