+1, I kinda always thought thats what the Zend_Config class should do.
That architecture also lends itself to the 'simplicity' of use in the
Framework.

My initial instinct that this would add too much complexity to and

The obvious solutions are to use some userland code to load each one
separately and then merge. Alternatively, if there there is a lot of
requirement for this sort of loading of configuration files, then maybe
a Zend_Config_Loader class would make sense?
A better solution would be to rename Zend_Config to Zend_Config_Array,
which is a better description of what it does. Then make Zend_Config a
top-level configuration loading class that auto-detects the appropriate
adapter for any given file based on extension, loads all files in a given
set of directories, and merges them as necessary.
