    public class Merge
extends TypedAtomicActor
    This actor merges any number of input sequences onto one output sequence. It begins by being willing to rendezvous with any input. When it receives an input, it then becomes willing to rendezvous with the output. After successfully delivering the input token to the output, it returns again to being willing to rendezvous with any input. This actor is designed for use in the rendezvous domain, where it will execute in its own thread.

    The behavior of this actor is similar to that of the ResourcePool actor, except that the ResourcePool actor does buffering. That is, the ResourcePool is always ready to rendezvous with any input, while this actor is ready to rendezvous with an input only after it has delivered the previous input token to the output.
