An example merging two maps.
```go-html-template
{{ $default_params := dict "color" "blue" "width" "50%" "height" "25%" }}
{{ $user_params := dict "color" "red" "extra" (dict "duration" 2) }}
{{ $params := merge $default_params $user_params }}
```
Resulting __$params__:
```
"color": "red"
"extra":
"duration": 2
"height": "25%"
"icon": "mail"
"width": "50%"
```

Regardless of depth, merging only applies to maps. For slices, use [append]({{< ref "functions/append" >}})
