Re: advice, supporting dynamic color space additions to config

Same here. We can easily do this through the API by re-generating configs on the fly as outlined in this thread. However, 3rd party tools that have standard OCIO integration are not aware of our changes. 

Having this support natively would make it easier to support global studio settings and show/project overrides throughout the pipe without having to re-write or work around 3rd party implementations.

I've also been thinking about the general idea of configs "inheriting" from one another. I haven't delved far into the API for manipulating configs yet, so perhaps there is some support there if you're okay with dynamically creating configs on the fly.

It'd be great if there was a formal way to have a "global" config from which "show" configs (or some other more specific context) can be automatically derived with some overrides. Overrides could include defining new color spaces, limiting/extending the available display/view options, reassigning "roles" etc.
