Of course a cheap cop out to handle just these special cases is to include an extension variable dereference in the default value: import_environment = ... default settings ... $site_import_environment Then the user can just assign a non-empty value to $site_import_environment. Ditto for "proxy_read_maps". Perhaps this would be enough, if we augment the variables for which this is most likely to be useful... Of course "+=" would be much more general, and perhaps not too painful to implement... -- VIktor.
