If searching through :tree hierarchies weren't so desperately slow, especially on SBCL, I would agree. Unhappily it *is* slow. And so until and unless performance is fixed, I think it's necessary to allow to not inherit but override the configuration.
What does inheriting configuration have to do with :tree hierarchies ?
Because recursive through filesystem hierarchies is so slow, inheriting a configuration that recurses through such hierarchies can be a big pain in the ass.
