[Feature Request] Appending settings in project

[WZ-Tong]

When I need some common parameters ("args" field) and some "project specific" parameters, I have to copy all the common ones into my project settings.

If there is any way to append/override some default settings, this would be helpful.

Example:

SublimeLinter:

{
    "linters": {
        "mylinter": {
            "args": ["-c", "common_args", "-o", "override_args"],
    	},    
    },
}

Project:

{
    "settings": {
        "SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.args.override": [
        	"-a", "additional_args"
        	"-o", "project_override_args",
        ],
    },
}

It would be "SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.args.append" from my understanding. From the implementation side, the key of the setting then is args.append, and you could also choose "SublimeLinter.linters.mylinter.additional_args" or extend_args, you get it, everything after the prefix is the key name of just another setting. That would be my perspective on it right now.

The implementation would be a trivial one-liner probably, plus a lot more for the unit tests. Bike-shedding the name is probably difficult.
