But I want to give the opportunity to get immeately working plugin.
That's possible only by defined some required constants using 'Feature 
enable' options, when *nothing* is not necessarily needed to define 
afterward.

that could be nice also for 'Feature enable' options

But I just want to avoid situation, where is is *necessary* to set 
something afterward. I put opportunity to set required settings
immediately in the installation situation. I gave also information
"this can be defined also afterward in some TypoScript template in the 
constant field (subFolder=/...))"
IMO it is still reasonable to give opportunity to define working 
constansts without the need to define anything afterward.
Endeed if some other plugin already have defined something (for example 
general storage page), some definitions might be defined several times.
