Description

Currently a child can only add more breadcrumbs. There are situations, however, where it is desirable to remove some or all of the breadcrumbs defined by the parent, in particular when the Maven project hierarchy doesn't match the natural hierarchy of the site. See <http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg117974.html> for an example (also attached).

One way to do this, without requiring changes to the site.xml format and with only minimal breakage of compatibility, would be to simply use the child's breadcrumbs wholesale whenever they are a prefix to the parents.
