# deep_merge.rb
#
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:deep_merge, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-'DOC') do |args|
    Recursively merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash.

    For example:

        $hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => { 'four' => 4 } }
        $hash2 = {'two' => 'dos', 'three' => { 'five' => 5 } }
        $merged_hash = deep_merge($hash1, $hash2)
        # The resulting hash is equivalent to:
        # $merged_hash = { 'one' => 1, 'two' => 'dos', 'three' => { 'four' => 4, 'five' => 5 } }

    When there is a duplicate key that is a hash, they are recursively merged.
    When there is a duplicate key that is not a hash, the key in the rightmost hash will "win."
