+/**
+ * Support for merging of JPA entities. This utility allows the result of a
+ * merge (modifications of primary key and/or version) to be merged back into
+ * the argument that was merged. As a result, the merged entity can be reused
+ * and the application is not forced to use the new version that was returned
+ * from the merge.
+ * 
+ * The utility traverses the object graph based on the public getter methods.
+ * Therefore, care should be taken with this utility as usage could lead to
+ * recursively loading all objects reachable from the given object. Then again,
+ * this utility is for working with detached objects and it would, in general,
+ * be bad practice to work with detached objects that still contain unresolved
+ * lazy loaded relations and with detached objects that implicitly refer to
+ * almost the entire datamodel.
+ * 
+ * This utility best supports a service oriented design where interaction is
+ * through service interfaces where each service has its own storage isolated
+ * from other services. That would be opposed to a shared data design with many
+ * services acting on the same data.
