Aiee, therein is the rub. (I make a horrible scott, but I try) You'd have
to define "merge", for the above to make sense. I can merge any three files.
Simply concatenate them, or XOR them all together. The output may not make
much sense, but they are "merged" in some sense of the word.
I'll agree with you though if you say that there may not be any sensible
method to automatically merge certain file-formats and keep the syntactic
and semantic format of the file "correct"...
