R.mergePath

There is assoc function and there is assocPath, they solve one of the goals properly, but shouldn’t there be a path analogue for merge as well?

A common case, you must travel 4 levels deep into an object and merge objects under same key, it can be done with composition, such as this:

const lens = R.lensPath(['a', 'b']);
R.over(lens, R.merge(R.__, {c2: 22, c3: 33}), {a: {b: {c1: 1, c2: 2}}});
//> {a: {b: {c1:1, c2: 22, c3: 33}}}

But isn’t this a common usage case? So something like R.mergePath([‘a’, ‘b’], {c2: 22, c3: 33}, {a: {b: {c1: 1, c2: 2}}})

Just catching up.

My feeling is that something like mergePath is the sort of function for which we created the Cookbook. If we see a lot of demand, we could consider moving it into the library.

@char0n: I seem to have missed a bunch of messages. Those look fine for the Cookbook.
