Allow overriding variables that have been assigned a value in the configuration file about components.js HOT 6 OPEN

Actually, something like this may already work (untested):

{
  "@id": "ex:myComponentInstance",
  "ex:param": { "@id": "ex:myVariable" }
}

{
  "@id": "ex:myVariable",
  "value": "123"
}

from components.js.

They can act as a default that can be overwritten by configuration.
(On that note… can we overwrite any component? 😛)

You can only overwrite default values in parameters. If you actually instantiate a param's value, you can only append values, not overwrite them.

Mmm, was too soon. Seems like variables with a configured value cannot be overridden.

Actually, only the first one works; the second one does not.
