Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/81210#c13635 It's unclear if it's feasible and if it can be done without cluttering the special pages too much or reducing flexibility (compare bug 11612 comment 13). Could be useful for bug 20151 (allowing only a subset of preferences)?
A api for preferences exist now (bug 18195)
Repeated from 38395; we'll be working on this soon :).
