------------------------------------------

             Summary: CombinedConfigurationBuilder should allow inheriting 
settings to child configurations
                 Key: CONFIGURATION-619
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-619
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta2
            Reporter: Oliver Heger


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.
