  newfunction(:merge, type: :rvalue, doc: <<-DOC) do |args|
    @summary
      Merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash.

    @example **Usage**
      $hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two', => 2}
      $hash2 = {'two' => 'dos', 'three', => 'tres'}
      $merged_hash = merge($hash1, $hash2) # $merged_hash =  {'one' => 1, 'two' => 'dos', 'three' => 'tres'}

    When there is a duplicate key, the key in the rightmost hash will "win."

    @return [Hash]
      The merged hash

    Note that since Puppet 4.0.0 the same merge can be achieved with the + operator.
      `$merged_hash = $hash1 + $hash2`
