Before this, += and -= worked well when applied to keys defined in the current section or in a section of the same name inherited from a file extended by the current file, but not to keys inherited from another section using macro extension <=, because <= substitution happens later and all the += and -= are already resolved. e.g.: ``` [macro] a = 1 [part] <= macro a += 2 ``` was equivalent to ``` [part] a = 1 a = 2 ``` instead of ``` [part] a = 1 a += 2 ``` Now a partial and brittle support for this is enabled by postponing += and -= resolution until <= substitution happens when the current section contains a <= extension. But this is not guaranteed: if the current section is overloaded in another file extending the current one, then += and -= resolution will happend then, before <=. A consistent solution would be to unify the implementation of extends= and <= and update sections by taking both into account, instead of updating based only on extends and computing <= later, leading to inconsistencies. This could be achieved e.g. by computing section updates on demand during substitution. Co-authored-by: Xavier Thompson <xavier.thompson@nexedi.com>
