This attribute is configured so that multiple definitions of it are 
merged by concatenation (I guess?). I wonder if there would be a way to 
specify overrides for after this process, e.g. that you have some 
overrides-like somewhere that allows you to write some final 
transformation functions to be applied to them:

I'd expect that something like that can be realized, although it would 
only be useful for end-users.
