Subject: [ruby-core:77150] [Ruby trunk Feature#12719] `Struct#|` for partial	updates

Issue #12719 has been updated by Matthew Mongeau.

File merge_bang.patch added

Since merge closely resembles the similar hash function, I think it makes sense to also add `merge!` as a function. I'm not a fan of the mutating methods, but I would find it surprising if this interface was different. Here's an updated patch. I also fixed some of the documentation I wrote.

Feature #12719: `Struct#|` for partial updates

----------------------------------------
Other languages have operators for performing partial updates on maps. I feel like Struct could be more useful if it provided an easy way of performing partial (or full) updates.

After the change you can do the following:

~~~ ruby
Point = Struct.new(:x, :y)

p = Point.new(1, 2)
p2 = p | { y: 4 }
p3 = p2 | { x: 10 }

puts p.inspect # => #<struct Point x=1, y=2>
puts p2.inspect # => #<struct Point x=1, y=4>
puts p3.inspect # => #<struct Point x=10, y=4>
~~~
