class Chef
  module Mixin
    # Implements a deep merging algorithm for nested data structures.
    #
    # This code was originally imported from deep_merge by Steve Midgley.
    # deep_merge is available under the MIT license from
    # http://trac.misuse.org/science/wiki/DeepMerge
    #
    # Note that this is not considered a public interface.  It is technically
    # public and has been used and we cannot break the API, but continued
    # external use is discouraged.  We are unlikely to change the shape of
    # the API and break anyone, but this code does not serve the purposes of
    # cookbook authors and customers.  It is intended only for the purposes
    # of the internal use in the chef-client codebase.  We do not accept
    # pull requests to extend the functionality of this algorithm.  Users
    # who find this does nearly what they want, should copy and paste the
    # algorithm and tune to their needs.  We will not maintain any additional
    # use cases.

      # deep_merge! method permits merging of arbitrary child elements. The two top level
      # elements must be hashes. These hashes can contain unlimited (to stack limit) levels
      # of child elements. These child elements to not have to be of the same types.
      # Where child elements are of the same type, deep_merge will attempt to merge them together.
      # Where child elements are not of the same type, deep_merge will skip or optionally overwrite
      # the destination element with the contents of the source element at that level.
      #
      # So if you have two hashes like this:
      #
      #   source = {:x => [1,2,3], :y => 2}
      #   dest =   {:x => [4,5,'6'], :y => [7,8,9]}
      #   dest.deep_merge!(source)
      #   Results: {:x => [1,2,3,4,5,'6'], :y => 2}
      #
      # By default, "deep_merge!" will overwrite any unmergeables and merge everything else.
      # To avoid this, use "deep_merge" (no bang/exclamation mark)
