Hi there, I am using Defaults files to give my documents a standard
look. This works absolutely fantastic.
However sometimes I want to overwrite settings from the Defaults file
in the document YAML block, but this doesn't always work.

The defaults files should be thought of defining default values for
*command line arguments*.

Instead, you may want to use `--metadata-file`, which can be thought of
a defaults file for metadata, as those values _can_ be overridden by the
YAML in the document itself.
