/*
  JSON Merge-Patch for nix
  Spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396

  An algorithm for changing and removing fields in nested objects.

  For example, given the following original document:

  {
  a = "b";
  c = {
      d = "e";
      f = "g";
  }
  }

  Changing the value of `a` and removing `f` can be achieved by merging the patch

  {
  a = "z";
  c.f = null;
  }

  which results in

  {
  a = "z";
  c = {
      d = "e";
  };
  }

  Pseudo-code:
  define MergePatch(Target, Patch):
      if Patch is an Object:
        if Target is not an Object:
          Target = {} # Ignore the contents and set it to an empty Object
        for each Name/Value pair in Patch:
          if Value is null:
            if Name exists in Target:
              remove the Name/Value pair from Target
          else:
            Target[Name] = MergePatch(Target[Name], Value)
        return Target
      else:
        return Patch
