It would be nice if convox allowed multiple files to be combined for the manifest used to deploy an app - something like [https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/](https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/). Additional files could also override values set in preceding files.

Something like: `convox deploy --mainifest convox.yml extra.yml -=app myapp-test` would merge the two YML files together when building the app myapp-test.

Use case:

Specifically I’d like to be able to use different timers in different environments without having logic in application code but still maintain a common base `convox.yml`. A `timers-test.yml` could contain a nightly reset job to be run for a test app environment (and another with different jobs to be run in production)
