Can python access the F5 key's quarter/half-tile object-snapping setting?

Apologies for hijacking this thread (can't post a new one yet myself :( ), but I'm facing a similar problem: for a mod I'm working on, it'd be nice to track the state of the bb.moveobjects and headlineeffects cheats. I can toggle them as client commands, but it doesn't seem to be possible to determine if they're currently on or off.

If you or anybody else finds/knows of a solution, that would be very helpful :) It would definitely help if Maxis would expose some of those UI settings (even if read-only) to the Python side.
