Loading an umbrella app's own runtime.exs in dev
Given an umbrella application with applications that define their own runtime.exs files in apps/appname/config/runtime.exs. The app specific config files are added to the releases using Config Providers. Is it possible to also load those app-specific runtime.exs files in development? Can I pass an arg to iex -S mix or something?

Given an umbrella application with applications that define their own
runtime.exsfiles inapps/appname/config/runtime.exs
Context:
When I created my own umbrella project, (e.g. mix phx.new --umbrella) , the directory structure ended up something like the following.
my_app_umbrella
├── README.md
├── apps
│ ├── my_app
│ └── my_app_web
├── config
│ ├── config.exs
│ ├── dev.exs
│ ├── prod.exs
│ ├── runtime.exs
│ └── test.exs
└── mix.exs
And trying any sort of import_config inside config/runtime.exs looks to be forbidden
import_config "../apps/my_app/config/runtime.exs"
or if I have config/my_app/runtime.exs closer to the config files in the umbrella app itself:
import_config "my_app/config/runtime.exs"
% iex -S mix
** (RuntimeError) import_config/1 is not enabled for this configuration file. Some configuration files do not allow importing other files as they are often copied to external systems

I had assumed that for umbrella applications, the way it does releases, to place all config in this runtime.exs.
The app specific config files are added to the releases using Config Providers.
Can you provide some additional context about how your Config Providers work?
