Hi,  
we are using nameko for our internal platform. There are many services started singularly with its own configuration file. But in every file there is the section LOGGING equals for all.  
I see that some yaml implementation use a directive !include in order to import piece on configuration from another file. There is a way to do this even with nameko?

YAML parsers that support include implement it with a custom loader. Nameko does not, currently.

You can see the [code that sets up the YAML parser here](https://github.com/nameko/nameko/blob/a719cb1487f643769e2d13daf255c20551490f43/nameko/cli/main.py#L102-L111)

It would be neat if Nameko exposed the ability to add new directives here, but it does not currently. To add one you’d need probably need to patch the existing function.
