@@ -55,6 +55,23 @@ A feature name may not contain whitespace. You can activate multiple features:
 
 If more than one feature sets the same option, the last one wins.
 
+If an option is present in the [delta] section, then features are not considered at all.
+
+If you want an option to be fully overridable by a feature and also have a non default value when
+no features are used, then you need to define a \"default\" feature and include it in the main
+delta configuration.
+
+For instance:
+
+[delta]
+feature = default-feature
+
+[delta \"default-feature\"]
+width = 123
+
+At this point, you can override features set in the command line or in the environment variables
+and the \"last one wins\" rules will apply as expected.
