Took a look over the wiki for this. The approach is very similar to one
I've used recently so I wanted to bring up something that looks like it may
have been overlooked.

In testing it is frequent practice that you want to ensure global config
state and somehow overwrite global config state on the fly (for example
when you have dynamic ports being assigned to a service), passing config
dicts around everywhere makes this task a bit harder. My solution was to
force all instances being handed an options dict to assign it to the
.options attribute on itself, and to use a common name for chained
applications so that it is possible to traverse the tree:
