is there an equivalent of MergeFrom in dproto?

if not, could that be on the roadmap?

for reference: see also protocolbuffers/protobuf#3106 (comment)

Take a look at 76f074e, I added an implementation with some basic testing.

awesome!
btw, google's MergeFrom appends for repeated fields, which is kind of a silly default, how about adding an option to control whether repeated fields are appended or replaced if defined on the 2nd message?

I have some other stuff on my plate at the moment, but it should be straightforward to add now that the framework for it is there.
