Description

something along the lines of the following would be nice

StructTypes.constructfrom!(::StructTypes.DictType, target::AbstractDict, source) = merge!(target, source)
StructTypes.constructfrom!(::StructTypes.ArrayType, target, source) = append!(target, source)

Research direction

Start by locating the existing StructTypes.constructfrom! definitions and the InterfaceTypes for DictType and ArrayType. Check how current construction methods are tested, then add the requested merge! and append! behavior and verify both interface cases without changing unrelated construction paths.
