  • Hash merging

    This function also works for hashes.
    def $a = hash('a', 'b')
def $b = hash('c', 'd')
def $c = $a|merge($b)


    will make 

    $c['a'] = 'b'
$c['c'] = 'd'


    Very useful for growing hashes iteratively. However, bear in bind that hashes cannot have numbers as keys! I lost an hour trying to figure out why my 
    foreach
    didn't work. :-)

    .. of course my foreach contained a merge.
