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

  """A user and associated login credentials, the fundamental identity entity.

  User is a separate Model class from Person because the same login 
  ID may be used to, for example, serve as Contributor in one Program 
  and a Reviewer in another.

  Also, this allows a Person to, in the future, re-associate that 
  Person entity with a different Google Account if necessary.

  A User entity participates in the following relationships implemented 
  as a db.ReferenceProperty elsewhere in another db.Model:

   persons)  a 1:many relationship of Person entities identified by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'persons' back-reference
     Query of the Person model 'user' reference.
     
   documents)  a 1:many relationship of Document entities identified by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'user' back-reference
     Query of the Document model 'user' reference.

   groups)  a 1:many relationship of Group entities "founded" by the User.
     This relation is implemented as the 'groups' back-reference Query of
     the Group model 'founder' reference.

   responses)  a 1:many relationship of Reponse entities submitted by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'responses' back-reference
     Query of the Response model 'respondent' reference.
