Description
It should be possible for a fake file to specify that another file is to be used as a companion file. This could either be hard-coded in the reader:
$ touch foo.fake $ touch.foo.fake.companion
or a more extensible mechanism of specifying the the entire used files array could be used:
$ touch foo.fake # This will be the first element of usedFiles $ echo "usedFile&companion=true:foo.fake.log" >> foo.fake $ echo "usedFile&series=1:foo.fake_1" >> foo.fake
The more extensible version should only be approached after looking at all of the new features in this story. Decisions must be made on the internal format of fake files if we are to do this: Java properties files? INI files? "foo&contents=ini.fake" ?

Closing, as PR 536 above was merged. The companion file for 'foo.fake' would be 'foo.fake.ini', and can contain INI properties.
