Is config->{layout} = 'foo' the same as set layout => 'foo'?
In general, you shouldn't change the hashref returned by config(), but use set() instead. Some settings, when changed via set(), trigger a hook to handle that change (e.g. initialise a template engine when 'template' is used, set up a catch-all route when 'auto_page' is used, etc). Changing them directly, bypassing set(), means those triggers won't fire. The 'layout' setting, however, doesn't have any trigger, so changing it directly wouldn't hurt; I still wouldn't recommend it though, for future- proofing. In fact, it might make sense for us to change config() to return a tied hash which emits warnings if you try to change any values, to discourage people from using it to change settings directly, bypassing set().
