Alternate Config Files

[Jaykul]

I've been thinking that we could easily add a parameter for the file name (defaulted to the current hard-coded Configuration.psd1) which would allow the file name to be specified ...

The idea would NOT be to let you customize the file names -- but to support different "sets" of configurations. That way if a module author wanted to switch between multiple named configurations they could just expose the name to their users ... or users who know you're using Configuration could just:

Get-Module YourModule | Import-Configuration -Set Special

So what should I call the parameter? We can't use Name because that's the parameter I'm using for the Module name.

• Set (has the benefit of starting with a character that's unique among parameters)
• Config
• ConfigSet
• Variant
• ???

ConfigurationSet with Set as an alias makes the most sense to me.
