How do you access the blockchain config using a NetworkProvider

[andrewslock]

When running a script, you are provided a NetworkProvider. Is there a way to access the blockchain config and its values using this provider? I do staking and I need to know the stake limits from the config when I run my script.

I know I can get the state of the config contract, parse it and extract the config but it's too much, is there a better way?
