I second that. One additional problem is that the doc (6.5.6.5) states that "merge
is slower rendering than union so it should only be used when it is really
necessary". But later the VFAQ says that "A very common allegation is that "merge
is always slower than union". This statement is not true." Looks like the doc is
picking fights with itself. Talk about schizophrenia... :)
