Description

It would be nice if a it was possible to tell Wang sets to get combined with one of the same name from a different tileset.

I’m thinking about something like ``.
This is helpful if you have for example a main tileset with grass, trees and other objects and a tileset for paths, which rarely gets used in maps, that should use the grass variations of the other one.

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating how Wang sets and tileset references are represented, then clarify how same-named sets should combine across tilesets, including conflicts and loading behavior; done should include the requested association working for the example grass and paths tilesets with tests covering it.
