Hi,
I'm assuming this is be the right place to discuss layman. If not,
please redirect me and ignore the rest.

I'm using layman-1.1.1 (not the most-recent). Its -o option appends
additional overlays to the list found in layman.cfg. If an overlay
appears in both lists, the one from cfg takes precedence.
I'm thinking of the -o option as a means to override layman.cfg. Indeed
on most applications I've come across, cmdline lets you override
persistent configuration. In layman's case, however this is not so, and
I'm wondering if that's intended, and if so, what is the reasoning for this.

I'm able to workaround this issue by invoking layman with '-c
/dev/null'. I'd prefer not to do so, though, as this hides layman.cfg
entirely from the program, whereas I only want to override the overlay list.

Thanks,
Amit
