merge
In Control Scripts, the root level instance of the object merge
is the entry point from where you can query and change the way contexts are merged.
For more information about Control Scripts, see Control Scripts and Control Script API.
Some of the objects are also useful in Post Pagination Scripts; see Post Pagination Scripts and Post Pagination Script API.
For sample scripts, follow the links to the respective objects.
