/*
* ACHTUNG: this file is a hack used to load "settings.json.docker" instead of
* "settings.json", since in its present form the Settings module does
* not allow it.
* This is a remnant of an analogous file that was placed in
* <basedir>/tests/backend/loadSettings.js
*
* TODO: modify the Settings module:
* 1) no side effects on module load
* 2) write a factory method that loads a configuration file (taking the
* file name from the command line, a function argument, or falling
* back to a default)
