ConfigBlock: allow overriding attributes when copying #44

Closed jsiirola closed 5 years ago

jsiirola commented 5 years ago

Summary/Motivation:

This change was motivated by @jghouse88 where he was using a ConfigBlock as a template for several sections of a Config and wanted to overwrite the doc field. This PR supports the following:

template = ConfigBlock()
template.declare('a', ConfigValue( #...
    )
# ....
config = ConfigBlock()
config.declare("thing 1", template(doc="configuration for thing 1"))
config.declare("thing 2", template(doc="configuration for thing 2"))
