Actually, that would be very useful.  Be able to do things like have
both ".." and "../2004.3" in parent, so items from the parent in the
directory structure is read first, followed by the 2004.3 stuff.  There
are quite a few cascaded profiles that are nearly identical between
versions, with only a single change, but that are quite divergent from
the parent.  This would eliminate most of the duplication and redundancy
in them.

How about a Great Dane that thinks he's a pony?
