this is all frustratingly conplex; or, more likely, i am just confused.
what i am used to is some command to just load from a canonic unified
configuration file `load override <foo>`
when i have the major config issues sorted, i am sure i will appreciate
the deamons having and retaining a lot of state. while i am trying to
get the basics working, not so much. i can not be sure if a change is
unsatisfactory because the config is still incorrect or if there is
some sticky state.
