inheriting from other config settings

[vincentbriglia]

this is not an issue that can be fixed, but perhaps documented instead.

rules and settings have a different way of merging,

see way of merging for settings here: https://github.com/eslint/eslint/blob/v6.4.0/lib/cli-engine/config-array/config-array.js#L238-L273

see mergeWithoutOverwrite(config.settings, element.settings);

this means that if you've defined json/json-with-comments-files: [ '**/tsconfig.json', '.vscode/**' ] in one config, inherit from that config and want to omit the json/json-with-comments-files setting, you can't just do json/json-with-comments-files: [] - you have to add the same amount of elements in the array to 'get rid of the globs' ...

this can get a little annoying, so I think it would be nice if this could be documented, just as a reminder, that settings aren't easily overwritten

@vincentbriglia wow, did not know that. PR to the readme or changes to source to accommodate your use case is welcome
