I didn't intend anything so complex. Part of Fish's design (from what i understand) is that the .config file bindings are overwritten by the function fish_default_key_bindings
I was suggesting that when the config file is read, 'bare' bindings are special cased and added to the bottom of the in-memory copy of that function. This will let the simple case of bindings in the .config file work without breaking the advanced features intended. I was not advocating rewriting .config. I hope this is clearer.
