Description
Migrate merge() contract the same way we did with extend().
Users should be responsible with concatenating the 2 datasets into 1 merged dataset and provide that single merged dataset + integer offset. Merge() should then merge graph only.
Remove merged_storage struct.
Think about how to pre-calculate merged storage size after bitset filter:
