I have a question regarding the above section:
What exactly is the difference between *reconciling* and *stamp*(load=True 
vs. load=False)? These two abstract words really are not quite clear for a 
beginner to understand it. I would suppose that the end result would always 
be the source object's state being completely transferred onto the target 
object. I couldn't see any difference between *reconciling* and *stamp*. 
Could someone give an example here to illustrate the purpose of this 
parameter?
Thanks.
