> I think it would be useful to have a juneau utility to merge two pojos of the same class, with a primary and a fallback.
> typesafe config has something like this: delta.withFallback(base) gives you a view where anything not defined in delta is pulled from base
> the interface would look something like:
> PojoMerge<T> {
>   public T merge(T delta, T base);
> }
> the test case would be something like:
> class Bean { 
>   String foo;
>   String bar;
> }
> Bean blank = new Bean()
> Bean foo = new Bean(); foo.setFoo("foo")
> Bean bar = new Bean(); bar.setBar("bar")
> Bean foobar = new Bean(); foobar.setFoo("foo"), foobar.setBar("bar")
> assert( merge( blank, foo).equals(foo) )
> assert( merge( foo, blank).equals(foo) )
> assert( merge( foo, bar).equals(foobar) )
> assert( merge( bar, foo).equals(foobar) )
> assert( merge( blank, blank).equals(blank) )
> assert( merge( foo, foo ).equals(foo) )
> assert( merge( foo, foobar ).equals(foobar) )
> assert( merge( foobar, bar ).equals(foobar) )
