/**
 * Merges all the properties of all arguments into first argument. If two or
 * more argument objects have own properties with the same name, the property
 * is overridden, with precedence from right to left, implying, that properties
 * of the object on the left are overridden by a same named property of the
 * object on the right.
 *
 * Any argument given with "falsy" value - commonly `null` and `undefined` in
 * case of objects - are skipped.
 *
 * @examples
 *    var a = { bar: 0, a: 'a' }
 *    var b = merge(a, { foo: 'foo', bar: 1 }, { foo: 'bar', name: 'b' });
 *    b === a   // true
 *    b.a       // 'a'
 *    b.foo     // 'bar'
 *    b.bar     // 1
 *    b.name    // 'b'
