If that is possible, that would be a really good.

But can't the settings vary over time (even with no changes to the 
constraints)?

Not sure what you mean, but doing

	var curSettings = track.getSettings();

or
	var curNativeSet = track.getNativeSetting();

I would expect to get the currently used settings (not the ones that was 
used immediately after the latest applyConstraints).
