Merges dictionary b to dictionary a. Values of a will be ignored on key conflict. Frequently used to apply default values to record fields. Example:

1. { "first": 1, "third": 0 }@0 received via a

2. { "third": 3, "fifth": 5 }@0 received via b

3. merged sends { "first": 1, "third": 3, "fifth": 5 }@0
