True enough. As far as I can see, this should be pretty easy. So, the question is, should the user-specified file replace none, some or all of the standard files, and if none of the default files should be dropped, should the user specified file be loaded first or last? I'd guess that the best option is to replace all default files with the user specified one, since the other behaviours can be emulated by sourcing the other files. This is also how bash behaves when the --rcfile option is used, though that sounds like a bad name to use for fish, since the 'rc' suffix is not used in fish. Perhaps '--conf-file'?
