My understanding was that Matz rejected #+ for merging because of a concern about how to resolve key conflicts.  Maybe his concern can be addressed by providing two Hash operators (e.g. #| for reverse_merge-like behavior and #+ for merge-like behavior) each with distinct and well defined resolutions for conflicting keys.
