Good point. I didn't intend my post to suggest the ordering, but I see
it could be read that way. You are correct, ssh_config is read on a
first match basis, so host specific setting should go first.

That is interesting. I haven't really delved into this file more than I
needed to to get things working, but I can see the above being useful.
The ability to change the default login username per host is very
