------------------------------
@Lars
bq. This is not the same as merge, right?
Sounds like it is.
bq. The region's data will be gone
This patch seems to copy the data from the deleted region up into the new
hole-plugging region. It doesn't seem to delete it.
As to your 1., 2., 3... yes, thats what this patch does only the operators and
the classes are all named DeleteRegion* blah when what is happening is region
merging.
I think its important to get the concept right else its going to confuse for
ever after.
@Mubarak So, sounds like the command/api could also be named merge rather than
deleteRegion (You are not actually deleting the data, is that right?)?
