+>> Merge pairs of points together. On return, the first_point of a pair is the
+survivor unless first_point may not be removed ( a corner point for example),
+then the command operates as if first_point and second_point have been
+interchanged. If there is no confirmation of the merge, one or both of the
+points may be inactive, or the merge may be illegal because the points are not
+neighbors or because this merge is disallowed by the merge tables. Merging may
+trigger other merges by the reconnection step that follows the merge.
+
+The command [massage](MASSAGE.html) may be used to merge nodes together based
+on the edge distance separating the nodes.
