def configure_settings(**kwargs):
    """
    Pass settings to ``nengo_dl`` by setting them as parameters on the
    top-level Network config.

    The settings are passed as keyword arguments to ``configure_settings``;
    e.g., to set ``trainable`` use ``configure_settings(trainable=True)``.

    Parameters
    ----------
    trainable : bool or None
        Adds a parameter to Nengo Ensembles/Connections/Networks that controls
        whether or not they will be optimized by :meth:`.Simulator.train`.
        Passing ``None`` will use the default ``nengo_dl`` trainable settings,
        or True/False will override the default for all objects.  In either
        case trainability can be further configured on a per-object basis (e.g.
        ``net.config[my_ensemble].trainable = True``.  See `the documentation
        <https://www.nengo.ai/nengo-dl/training.html#choosing-which-elements-to-optimize>`_
        for more details.
    planner : graph planning algorithm
        Pass one of the `graph planners
        <https://www.nengo.ai/nengo-dl/graph_optimizer.html>`_ to change the
        default planner.
    sorter : signal sorting algorithm
        Pass one of the `sort algorithms
        <https://www.nengo.ai/nengo-dl/graph_optimizer.html>`_ to change the
        default sorter.
    simplifications: list of graph simplification functions
        Pass a list of `graph simplification functions
        <https://www.nengo.ai/nengo-dl/graph_optimizer.html>`_ to change the
        default simplifications applied.
    session_config: dict
        Config options passed to ``tf.Session`` initialization (e.g., to change
        the `GPU memory allocation method
        <https://www.tensorflow.org/programmers_guide/using_gpu#allowing_gpu_memory_growth>`_
        pass ``{"gpu_options.allow_growth": True}``).
    inference_only : bool
        Set to True if the network will only be run in inference mode (i.e.,
        no calls to :meth:`.Simulator.train`).  This may result in a small
        increase in the inference speed.
    lif_smoothing : float
        If specified, use the smoothed :class:`~.neurons.SoftLIFRate` neuron
        model, with the given smoothing parameter (``sigma``),
        to compute the gradient for :class:`~nengo:nengo.LIF` neurons (as
        opposed to using :class:`~nengo:nengo.LIFRate`).
    dtype : ``tf.DType``
        Set the floating point precision for simulation values.
