Replaces the features of the copy with a single one covering them
all, where a scan has split what the editor reads as one feature.
The merged feature takes the place of the first it replaces and
spans from the first to the last, any gap between them included.
What the replaced features carried is carried by the merged one, and
whatever else named them, a modification or a comprehension, names
the merged one in their stead.
Only the features the copy bears itself are merged. A feature of a
patch states no place along the roll of its own, so there is nothing
for a merge to span, and an id naming one is passed over as an id the
copy does not bear is. Features of two different acts are not merged
either: one feature is the work of one act.
Throws where the features cannot stand for one; mergeObstacle
says beforehand whether they can.
