It works for me too, I certainly launched the wrong test file.

That was the easiest path.

Yes, that's an interesting usage. Maybe I should test that it works as
intended. I only tested it on small manifests as shown above. I don't
see why it wouldn't work, but since the override is done later than it
is usually done with a manual resource override, there might be some
strange effects.
