Description

Python 3.9 will add the merge (|) and update (|=) operator support for the built-in dict (PEP 584). We should consider adding the same support for immutables.Map.

Research direction

The issue names no implementation file or test. Start by locating the immutables.Map implementation and its existing mapping-operation tests, then compare the desired behavior with Python 3.9's PEP 584 semantics; done means both | and |= are supported consistently and covered by tests.
