          Parameters
          ----------
          path=None
              Path to load the settings from. If None, will load from the 
              specified autosettings_path.
          ignore_errors=True
              Whether we should raise a stink when a setting doesn't exist.
              When settings do not exist, they are stuffed into the dictionary
              self._lazy_load.
          block_user_signals=False
              If True, the load will not trigger any signals.
