There's a similar mechanism supported by cme which is named "layered
configuration".
This was developed for multistrap whose's configuration
uses base configuration files and override files. This is also used by ssh model where
~/.ssh/config overrides the values defined in /etc/ssh/config
I admit that this feature is somewhat underdocumented [1] :-/
All the best
