Specifically, can you write a function merge_two() such that:
merge_two({''b': 'another', 'c': 754}, {'b': 'word', 'c': 745})
returns the merged dictionary:
{'b' : ['another', 'word'], 'c':[754, 745]}
I'm trying to break the problem into simpler, testable pieces that you can
solve. The problem as described is large enough that I would not dare
trying to solve it all at once. If you have merge_two(), them you are much
closer to a solution to the whole problem.
