Yes and yes.

We additionally now have the cCfgSQL methods

.get_by_user()
.get_by_workplace()

which get an option without regard for workplace/user
respectively. IOW if I want to retrieve an option in which
the workplace does not matter (think of a personal color
preference for the client) I would use
cCfgSQL.get_by_user(option = 'my_color'). Both methods
support a default value. If set it is returned if the
database does not hold an appropriate value. In that case
the default value will also be written to the database for
the next time around.

It might need a notice at the top that those are rumblings
and thoughts which may or may not be accurate currently.
