Hi Scott,
Happy to hear you're enjoying the library!

Could you give me a better idea what kind of unique config you'd expect to
want? The dictionary keys are arbitrarily nest-able, so that's quite easy
to namespace as {:dictionary {:dic1 {...} :dict2 {...}}}, etc. Are you
concerned about the default locale?
2. It also seems like a godd idea to be able to have code merge in a chunk

If I've understood you correctly, you can already merge into the config
atom without any trouble. Use something like this:
(defn deep-merge-with
[f & maps]
(apply
(fn m [& maps]
(if (every? map? maps)
(apply merge-with m maps)
(apply f maps)))
maps))
(def deep-merge (partial deep-merge-with (fn [x y] y)))
I've just added a `merge-config!` fn to the dev branch to make this easier.

I hadn't though of that. I'll tweak it now so that the dictionary gets
merged in as you suggest, nice idea - thank you.

Not sure why we'd want/need multiple dictionaries though when you can just
namespace within the one. Can you describe a use-case?
