Funny, we were just discussing this at OpenDBCon.   Seems that you can't do a 
full implementation of MERGE without Predicate Locking (the ability to say 
"lock this table against inserts or updates of any row with key=5").  
However, Peter suggested that we could do a proof-of-concept implementation, 
working out syntax and trigger issues, based on a full table lock and do the 
hard work once it was proved to be feasable.

Peter?
