Referencing original arguments in service alteration

When you are altering a service you sometimes need to use args of the original service.

An implementation should be quite easy, so a syntax is the only question.

maybe sth like this:

services:
	application.presenterFactory:
		factory: App\TestPresenterFactory(%self.factory%)
		alteration: yes

what do you think? Any better ideas?

Or this can keep original arguments:

services:
	application.presenterFactory:
		factory: App\TestPresenterFactory
		alteration: yes

Or this can keep original arguments:

services:
	application.presenterFactory:
		factory: App\TestPresenterFactory
		alteration: yes

Should this keep the original arguments now?

The docs look like it should – they do not say the arguments are removed, only that they can be removed via reset. (https://doc.nette.org/cs/3.0/di-services#toc-modifikace-sluzeb, https://doc.nette.org/en/3.0/di-services#toc-modification-of-services).

But the code resets the arguments, when new factory/create is specified (

di/src/DI/Extensions/ServicesExtension.php

Line 89 in 086748f

$definition->setCreator(Helpers::filterArguments([$config->create])[0]);

,

di/src/DI/Definitions/ServiceDefinition.php

Line 74 in 038da8e

$this->creator = $creator instanceof Statement

).

What is the intended (default) behavior – reset or keep?
