add_config_source(name="platform", ..., priority=1)
add_config_source(name="mobile", ..., priority=2)

# Developers use transparently
fetch_config(config_name="platform-api")  # Finds in platform source

fetch_config(config_name="react")

# New in v2.2.0 (optional)
add_config_source(name="team", git_url="...")
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")

Known Limitations
