Description

Currently, to have !!merge <<: *<...> not raise an error it is required to add "yaml.customTags": [ "tag:yaml.org,2002:merge"] which is not intuitive at all based on the custom tags documentation.

Research direction

Start by reading the custom tags documentation and tracing how the yaml.customTags setting handles the YAML v1.2 merge tag. Check the parser or validation entry point responsible for rejecting !!merge <<: *.... Done means valid merge syntax no longer raises an error without requiring the custom tag configuration.
