 {#-
-    Load YAML files in the order of `files` and merge successively the
-    values with `defaults` if the file exists.
+    Load configuration in the order of `matchers` and merge
+    successively the values with `defaults`.
+
+    The `matchers` are processed using `libmatchers.jinja` to select
+    the configuration sources from where the values are loaded.
 
     Parameters:
-      - `files`: list of files to load
 
-      - `defaults`: default values to start the merging, they are
-        considered built-ins
+      - `matchers`: list of matchers in the form
+        `[<TYPE>[:<OPTION>[:<DELIMITER>]]@]<QUERY>`
+
+      - `defaults`: dictionary of default values to start the merging,
+        they are considered built-ins. It must conform to the same
+        layout as the YAML files: a mandatory `values` key and two
+        optional `strategy` and `merge_lists` keys.
+
+      - `dirs`: list of directory where to look-up the configuration
+        file matching the matchers, by default a global `salt://parameters/`
+        and a per formula `salt://<tplroot>/parameters`
 
       - `log_prefix`: prefix used in the log outputs, by default it is
         `libmapstack: `
 
-    Each YAML file must conform to the following layout:
+    Example: On a Debian system with `roles=["nginx/server", "telegraf"]`

+
+          - `salt://{{ tplroot }}/parameters/roles/telegraf.yaml`
+
+    Each YAML file and the `defaults` parameters must conform to the
+    following layout:
+
       - a mandatory `values` key to store the configuration values
 
       - two optional keys to configure the use of `salt.slsutil.merge`
 
-        - an optional `strategy` key to configure the merging strategy,
-          for example `strategy: 'recurse'`, the default is `smart`
+        - an optional `strategy` key to configure the merging
+          strategy, for example `strategy: 'recurse'`, the default is
+          `smart`
 
-        - an optional `merge_lists` key to configure if lists should be
-          merged or overridden for the `recurse` and `overwrite`
+        - an optional `merge_lists` key to configure if lists should
