Remove namespaces and keep chainmap for settings.

chahak13 · chahak13 · commit af93c0bae758 · 2023-05-28T14:03:35.000-07:00
As per @timhoffm's suggestion, decreasing scope of this PR to first just remove the dict inheritance and add a ChainMap to maintain settings. This is a fairly straightforward change and doesn't change the interface. Furthermore, the keys are still dotted and don't support namespacing as defining namespaces might take a little more discussion.
