So the features I think would be useful are: 1) the ability to select alternatives per-file 2) the ability to select alternatives per-package 3) the ability to group alternatives, potentially spanning multiple packages, and select them per-group

Just a tiny side note, but it would be awesome to support paths instead of only pure files as providers. This would allow to make the Java system default jvm directory to be managed by pacman as well instead of relying on custom archlinux-java script. Cheers
