Not currently possible, but I can see it being a useful feature. I'll
add it to the list. Something ala
fio --shared globals.fio actual-job.fio
I added something similar back in April for command line jobs, where you
can now do
fio --some-setting=1 --other-setting=2 actual-job.fio
and have that those settings be part of the global namespace.
