[TYPO3-mvc] partial typoscript settings

[Daniel Dimitrov]

Hey guys,
In fluid partials there is no typoscript settings object 
{settings.someConfig}
I can pass the settings object as an argument
<f:render partial="somePartial" agruments="{settings:settings}" />
but without setting it as an argument I cannot access it.
Is this a bug or a feature?
Kind regards,
Daniel
