Explain a setting that was never saved, from its defaults

A singleton such as x:SpamSettings has no stored object until someone
saves it; /get shows its defaults instead. Explain looked only for the
stored object, so every setting still at its defaults answered "No
such x:SpamSettings." It now falls back to the defaults the same way.
