Comment:

 Here is a wrapper I wrote to simplify the headache of creating settings:
 https://github.com/prettyboymp/voce-settings-api.  It isn't written in the
 usual way WordPress does things, and isn't a complete integration as it
 updates it calls update_option() directly, but I thought it may offer some
 useful insight.

 One feature that is really helpful is that it allows for different plugins
 to share a page or even group (section) without interfering with each
 other.  This allows us to add/remove/share modules without having
 dependencies or having to have multiple option pages.

 Below is an example of how pages/groups/settings are added:

 {{{
 Voce_Settings_API::add_page( 'Blog Settings', 'Blog Settings', 'blog-
 settings' )
         ->add_group( 'Related Story Feeds', 'related-story-feeds' )
                 ->add_setting( 'Related Videos Feed', 'related-videos',
 array('sanitize_callbacks' => array('sanitize_url')) )
         ->group
                 ->add_setting( 'Related Stories Feed', 'related-stories',
 array('sanitize_callbacks' => array('sanitize_url')) );
 }}}
