[chef-dev] Re: Docs example, does this exist?

You can access it directly: 

Chef::Mixin::DeepMerge.merge(A, B)  

chef > recipe_mode

recipe_mode

chef > recipe_mode

chef:recipe > Chef::Mixin::DeepMerge.merge({}, {:a => "1"} )

 => {"a"=>"1"}

chef:recipe >

And I believe the values are merged in the run in a chef-shell so if you define your roles/attribs or launch a run with chef-shell -z   you can see the state that the node attribs will merge too.

In this example:

there's a method run with parameters.

Does something like this exist in chef-shell, anywhere else, that an
operator could use to test the deep merge with attributes at different
precedence levels, data formats, etc?
