It would be great if instances of FileSystem could be merged. This would pave the way to allowing users to retain their files after an update. The semantics should be as follows, approximately: fs1.merge(fs2) would add all files from fs2 to fs1, overwriting them if necessary. After an update, the exist fs would be fs1 and the new one would be fs2.

This issue is not about retaining files after an update though. This issue is just about the merge function!

It would be great if instances of `FileSystem` could be merged. This would pave the way to allowing users to retain their files after an update. The semantics should be as follows, approximately: `fs1.merge(fs2)` would add all files from `fs2` to `fs1`, overwriting them if necessary. After an update, the exist fs would be `fs1` and the new one would be `fs2`. _This issue is not about retaining files after an update though. This issue is just about the `merge` function!_
