ArrayCreatingInputMerger

public final class ArrayCreatingInputMerger
extends InputMerger

An InputMerger that attempts to merge the inputs, creating arrays when necessary. For each input, we look at each key:

• If this is the first time we encountered the key:
• If it's an array, put it in the output
• If it's a primitive, turn it into a size 1 array and put it in the output
• Else (we have encountered the key before):
• If the value type matches the old value type:
• If they are arrays, concatenate them
• If they are primitives, turn them into a size 2 array
• Else if one is an array and the other is a primitive of that type:
• Make a longer array and concatenate them
• Else throw an IllegalArgumentException because the types don't match
