this:
would be:
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
[3] => e
[4] => d
[5] => f
)
with e and d swapped round. any value in $array2 that already had
a key in $array1 would be put on the end of a "queue" of values to be
stuck on the end of $array1 when the other values have finished merging.
it's a shame there's no space left on the end of the function that you
could put a constant to specify what behaviour you want.
