<para>
This is used to append an element to an assigned array. If you append
to a string value, it is converted to an array value and then
appended to. You can explicitly pass name/value pairs, or associative
arrays containing the name/value pairs. If you pass the optional third
parameter of true, the value will be merged with the current array
instead of appended.

<para>
The merge parameter respects array keys, so if you merge two
numerically indexed arrays, they may overwrite each other or result in
non-sequential keys. This is unlike the array_merge() function of PHP
which wipes out numerical keys and renumbers them.
