What I mean is that if you do, eg:

  set units civ1
  set techs civ1
  set buildings civ1

and then start the game, that is (say) consistent, but if the
game were to try to re-load rulesets after just the first
'set' above, it may be inconsistent.  So the game cannot
load rulesets when individual options are changed, but
how can it know when to load for the set of options above?
