Yes. There is. However, the convention is awkward. I'd deprecate it
for something more up to date with modern standard. And those
standards say that configuration for various development helpers
is better kept separated by prefixing it with dotted name.

Another reason is that "tools" concept is not intuitive, because
SCons tools usually wrap real tools and that creates confusion. It
is better if plugins wrap tools.
