Demands block observation

[Antranig Michael Basman]

"mergeOptions" has much more limited use than before, but it is still 
not completely without value. It may be that a user wants to write a 
single demands block, yet have several values merged together in a 
particular sequence if the demands block acts. The only way to achieve 
this effect would be through the use of "mergeOptions". I can't think of 
a realistic use case for this feature, but given we had some 
implementation left over I thought we may as well leave this as a 
"feature remnant". The partner directive "mergeAllOptions" has been removed.

Cheers,
A
