'''
The purpose of this file is to work with JSON-based config files, where you
load a default configuration, then overlay a user-supplied configuration on
top, overwriting the matching keys and keeping default values for the rest.
The functions will then suggest that the user config needs to be re-saved if
the default key set contains keys that the user key set does not.

Update target using supply, but when the value is a dictionary update the

target = {'hi': 'ho', 'neighbor': {'name': 'Wilson'}}
supply = {'neighbor': {'behind': 'fence'}}
result: {'hi': 'ho', 'neighbor': {'name': 'Wilson', 'behind': 'fence'}}
whereas a regular dict.update would have produced:
{'hi': 'ho', 'neighbor': {'behind': 'fence'}}
