cascaded autoload defaults
In particular, if i define some top-level alias push = git push origin master
, i would ideally like to not have to sauce
to get that, while i may not want project-specific values to autoload.
I think a decent first pass at this might be:
- lack of autoload is always false
- parent
autoload=true
values propagate downward for that level of specificity - child lack of an autoload setting means parent
autoload=trues
get loaded - child explicit
autoload=false
disables autoloading entirely
It is maybe somewhat weird that this means you get different behavior if you explicitly define your local preference (false) vs leaving it unset, which also resolves to false.
It might be better to simply have the autoload value propagate inversely, i.e.
- the autoload value is taken from the level of specificity for the item being loaded, if specified.
- if unspecified at that level, the local value (and therefore local/global default if unspecified) is chosen instead.
