This looks reasonable to me. The array_merge() behavior is certainly the
one I would (in PHP) expect intuitively, and it is likely the most useful
one as well, striking a balance between behavior useful for pure vectors
and pure dictionaries (and falling short if it's not either ... as is usual
in PHP).
