 Recursive attribute access results in a shallow copy, so recursive assignment
 will fail (as you will be writing to a copy of that dictionary)::

 If either of these caveats are deal-breakers, or you don't need your object to
 be a `dict`, consider using `AttrMap` instead.

 if at least one of the merged items is an AttrDict that has set ``recursive``
