Actually, that would be very useful. Be able to do things like have |
| 10 |
both ".." and "../2004.3" in parent, so items from the parent in the |
| 11 |
directory structure is read first, followed by the 2004.3 stuff. There |
| 12 |
are quite a few cascaded profiles that are nearly identical between |
| 13 |
versions, with only a single change, but that are quite divergent from |
| 14 |
the parent. This would eliminate most of the duplication and redundancy |
| 15 |
in them. |

How about a Great Dane that thinks he's a pony? |
