Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
I have a playlist composed by other playlists i.e. a m3u file linking to other m3us. When selecting a playlist from within current playlist, current playlist should be replaced by the content of the selected playlist.
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
Instead, mpv currently appends items to current playlist, making a mess of joined playlists.
From what I know, there's no way to change this behavior, so I suggest a new option for that.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating mpv's playlist selection and playlist-option handling, then compare how nested m3u links are currently appended. Done means a documented option lets selecting a linked playlist replace the current playlist, while preserving the existing behavior by default.
