Hi,

I tried it again, and I get what I expected:

If section A has same-as=B, then the output will be named B and the
configuration for both heads is taken from section B.

If section B has same-as=A, then the output will be named A and the
configuration is taken from section A.

Do you think "same-as" is not informative enough on implying which
section will actually apply as the configuration, or do you perhaps
understand it the opposite of what it does? Do you have suggestions?

I intended it to read as: This section/head is the same as that other
named section.


Thanks,
pq
