Instinct: do this merging if the ThingT is declared by its ID in the source docmap, but NOT if it is declared by DOI .
Rationale: DOIs are only "mostly" unique identifiers. We could do some empirical studying to see whether the fields in question ever or often disagree and therefore would cause trouble.
Caveat: the ID in the docmap is "unique", but we can't force users to do this correctly. I.e., they can generate docmaps stupidly and I have some expectation that they will do so. Therefore the same complaint re: DOIs may apply.
