Merge

Merge expect 0 or more arguments.
No arguments
When called with no arguments merge takes all of the output values from the previous function and adds them to a single list.
1 or more arguments
When called with 1 or more arguments, the arguments are executed as a subquery on each of the output values from the previous function.
All values returned from subqueries across all input values are added to a single list.
