Jira (PUP-7882) lookup() function: set a kind of default value which is merged

Francois Lafont commented on PUP-7882   Re: lookup() function: set a kind of default value which is merged Henrik Lindberg, it's probably possible to do the transformation via a function (for instance) but it seems to me not so easy in the case of a deep merging for instance (in fact the case of the deep merge seems to me very complex, am I wrong?). Furthermore, it seems to me quiet relevant to use directly the code of the lookup() function, to match exactly with the merge policy of the current parameter. The possibility to use a kind of default_merged_value option in lookup seems to me very convenient, even if, from my point of view, it should be an option to use... sparingly (in fact, the only case I see is the case I have tried to explain in my previous messages). That being said, maybe I'm wrong. As I said, feel free to close the ticket if you think it's not a good idea.
