+Merge objects using descriptors.
+
+```js
+var thing = {
+  get name() {
+    return 'jon'
+  }
+}
+
+var animal = {
+
+}
+
+merge(animal, thing)
+
+animal.name === 'jon'
+```
+
+## API

+`destination` object.
+
+### merge(destination, source, false)
+
+Defines `source`'s descriptors on `destination` if `destination` does not have
+a descriptor by the same name. The return value is the `destination` object.
