Description
If I create ~/.config/mc/mc.ext then /etc/mc/mc.ext no longer parsed.
I want to track my personal customization to mc.ext but also I want stay in touch with upstream version of mc.ext.
To use upstream version of mc.ext with my small but essential for me customizations I need merge these two files:
$ cat $skelproj/.config/mc/mc.ext /etc/mc/mc.ext > ~/.config/mc/mc.ext
Pretty easy but how about keyword to load system wide configs? So anyone can just copy mc.ext to proper place?

Today I fight with troubles on F3 on zip archive:
gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored Can not open "..." in parse mode. No such file or directory.
After debugging I clean my ~/.config/mc/mc.ext by:
$ cat $skelproj/.config/mc/mc.ext /etc/mc/mc.ext > ~/.config/mc/mc.ext
Seems that I update MC and old stuff conflict with new helper scripts.
I think that ~/.config/mc/mc.ext.d solve this issue:
$ ln -s /etc/mc/mc.ext ~/.config/mc/mc.ext.d/50-systemwide $ ln -s $skelproj/.config/mc/mc.ext ~/.config/mc/mc.ext.d/60-userdefined
But another issue is conflict resolution or priority. Until it formally defined /xxx.d/NN-xxxx will not work. See #3191
