Merging for nested dictionaries defined in root #190

Open lukaszachy opened 1 year ago

lukaszachy commented 1 year ago

Based on the promises of Elasticity and Merging I'd expect this fmf file (either main.fmf or arbitrary name in the fmf root)

a+:
  b+:
    c: d

to produce 'a': {'b': {'c': 'd'} dictionary. However currently 'a+' and 'b+' is kept as key names.

Also the 

foo: bar

/child:
    a+:
        b+:
            c: d

keeps 'b+' as key name (the 'a' is correctly named.)

Would be nice if one can use Merging everywhere in the Tree structure.

Should work well as we've introduced. Probably some feature break this behaviour. I remember I've implemented it in https://github.com/teemtee/fmf/pull/93
