alternate sources for parameters (named_location/filename_location)

[Patrick Ohly-2]

Hello,

I want to parse two different input files, one where a parameter is
determined by lines inside the file (named_location), the other where it
is only available as part of the file name (filename_location).

What I find with --debug is that when it comes to storing the values of
a tabular_location, both the information from the filename and the line
seems to be available, but neither of them is used in the final dataset.
The debug output is something like this:

#* storing dataset
#* dataset is  None None
#* dataset is  ['peer'] {'peer': '<from file content>'}
...
#* dataset is  ['peer'] {'peer': '<from file name>'}
#* dataset is  [...] {...}
Dataset 0 in run 3
{..., 'peer': None, ... }

Is this the expected behavior? I'll go back to writing two input
specifications to avoid the situation, but I think a conflict resolution
where the "more recent" named_location overrides the "static/default"
filename_location parameter value would be useful. I might miss use
cases where that is not the case, though.

Can you write a small testcase for this (experiment and input
description, input files)? This would make it much easier to analyze this.
