Methods
When arguments are duplicated (which is comonn) the default action is to completely override the previous argument definition. However, in some cases it is better to append/adjust or reduce the previous definition.
- Append / Adjust via
&:key- The previous definition will be adjusted if present or added if not present, respectively.
- Reduce via
-:key- The previous definition will have definitions removed entirly. For this method the argument definition should be a list not a dictionary.
