Research direction

Examine the existing 'set defaults' command implementation in the cider codebase (likely in a Python file handling CLI arguments). Identify how current values are stored and processed. Determine the format for dictionary values and modify the parsing logic to accept key value pairs or nested structures. Check for any existing tests or documentation that would need updating.
