 * An operation that recursively updates items of the selection, or adding the value if the selection is empty.
 * If the value is not an object, it is used directly, otherwise each key-value member is used
 * to create or update a member of the same name in the target and the same process is applied recursively for each object-typed value
 * (similar to [RFC 7396](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396#section-2) JSON Merge Patch, except that null values are copied
 * rather than transformed into deletions).
 * NOT_FOUND exceptions are handled by creating the implied containing structure.
 * To avoid referential errors if an item's descendant is also in the selection, items of the selection are processed in order of decreasing depth.
