The problem
We develop a sub-package for several customers and add another value to an array in an already existing config file. Currently, we would then have to make a PR for all our customers and add the value in the config file of the project, because some parts of this array are configurable but some parts are required.
The solution
To make it easier for package developers and required values in arrays, we need a way to not only merge the config, but also to make it recursively replaceable. My relatively simple, but hopefully charming way would be the solution here in PR.
