Comment (by pulkomandy):
The HIG is still a work in progress, and often needs to be adjusted to
actual wording.
I think the distinction is:
* "Preferences" refers to the system-wide preferences (the one available
in Deskbar > Preferences)
* "Settings" refers to application settings
There are some special cases, for example Deskbar and Tracker settings are
accessible in both ways. Clearly "Options" isn't used anywhere in Haiku,
and would be confusing as we have an "option" key which is unrelated.
