Do not rely on dicts.merge to change target Also make dicts.merge actually not touch target. This is much cleaner than modifying in place, especially since we assign the result of the dicts.merge call to target most of the time anyway. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

Example Usage::

    >>> f.write('Django')
    >>> f.close()
