> In a typical scenario, configuration sources loaded by a {{CombinedConfigurationBuilder}} will use similar formats and conventions. Therefore, it makes sense that typical settings specified for the builder (like list delimiter handling, the XML expression engine, etc.) are shared by child configurations per default if applicable.
> Note that it is currently possible to achieve something similar by making use of default values. However, a mechanism for inheriting settings to child configurations is easier to use and more convenient.
