• documentation is updated (npm run doc to regenerate documentation based on comments)
• description of changes is added under the Unreleased header in CHANGELOG.md

Welcome, and thanks for the contribution.
From what I can tell right now, you haven't updated the documentation despite marking it as done in the pull request description.
Rebase on master and update the documentation, please.

• documentation is updated

[belochub]

You've changed the function signature, but you still haven't updated the documentation apart from the usage example.

[belochub]

Documentation still isn't updated according to the changes to the function's signature.

Nit: I'd just inline the CONFIG_FILES_PRIORITY at this point.

LGTM. Will be landed before the next major version release.
