Our merger is more like a specific reduce phase when we see on it in
context of a general map-reduce framework. It is hard to find an
intersection of our names with, say, hadoop.

Once in the past we discussed how to better integrate general map-reduce
API into net.box, but then decided to implement merger first as the
concrete reduce phase w/o attempts to generalize it much.

Anyway, I see the word 'input' is quite often in map-reduce libraries
documentation. Should we use it instead of 'source'? merge_input or
merger_input?
