Details

- Setting[expr] replaces dynamic objects in expr by their current values.
- When applied to the object created by Manipulate[e,{xi,…},…], Setting gives the value of e evaluated with the current settings for the xi.
- When applied to a FormObject, Setting gives the value for each field deduced by applying "Interpreter" elements to "Input" fields.
