Description

Suppose I had a yml file that declared a function that is called throughout that yml file. Can I add an overlay that redefines that function to have different content?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating ytt's overlay and function-definition handling, then determine whether an overlay can redefine a function used elsewhere in the same YAML file. Done means the supported behavior and its scope are documented or implemented with coverage for this case.
