Comment (by eric9):

 Not exactly. What I proposed was to store the most recent thornlist in
 `.crl/component_list.crl`. If you then used a different thornlist,
 `.crl/component_list.crl` would be overwritten. My plan would have been to
 call `GetComponents <ET_2010_11>`, then `GetComponents <ET_2010_11>
 <some_other_list>`, which would merge the two lists as you expected.

 However, I think the behavior you expected makes much more sense. The only
 change I would make would be to add some flag like `--add <thornlist>`.
 Then you could do something like this:


 {{{
 GetComponents <ET_2010_11>
 cd Cactus
 GetComponents --add <extra_thorns>
 }}}
