Dear all,
Since pandoc can now reference multiple defaults files within a single 
defaults file, I thought it would be possible to run a single command to 
generate multiple outputs.

```
$ cat defaults.yaml
---
# General options
defaults: 
-  defaults/cis_ihrl_69a.defaults.yaml
-  defaults/cis_ihrl_69a.html.defaults.yaml
-  defaults/cis_ihrl_69a.pdf.defaults.yaml
...
```

The files `cis_ihrl_69a.html.defaults.yaml` and 
`cis_ihrl_69a.pdf.defaults.yaml` have different `to:` lines.  I'd expect 
both an HTML output as well as a PDF output when I do:

```
$ pandoc -d defaults
```

However, that doesn't work as I expected.  Only the last writer (PDF, in 
this case), gets executed.

I'm not sure if my expectations are wrong, or if I'm doing something wrong.

I read through the manual, but this doesn't really seem to help answer my 
question:

> Specify a set of default option settings. *FILE* is a YAML file whose 
fields correspond to command-line option settings. All options for document 
conversion, including input and output files, can be set using a defaults 
file. The file will be searched for first in the working directory, and 
then in the defaults subdirectory of the user data directory (see --data-dir 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--data-dir>). The .yaml extension may 
be omitted. See the section Default files 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#default-files> for more information on the 
file format. Settings from the defaults file may be overridden or extended 
by subsequent options on the command line.
