Description

This is a bit unwieldy

          settings = {
            fourmolu = { super, ... }: { custom = _: super.fourmolu_0_13_1_0; };
          };

Research direction

Start by reproducing the settings example for the fourmolu package and inspect how the settings API handles super and package overrides. Define the intended ergonomic syntax and confirm that it preserves the shown custom package selection before adding focused coverage for the new configuration.
