+@interface NSArray (GTMNSArrayMergingAdditions)
+
+// Merge our array with |newArray| by sorting each array then merging the
+// two arrays. If |merger| is provided then call that method on any old
+// items that compare as equal to a new item, passing the new item as
+// the only argument. If |merger| is not provided, then insert new items
+// in front of matching old items. If neither array has any items then
+// nil is returned.
+//
+// The signature of the |merger| is:
+// - (id)merge:(id)newItem;
+//
+// Returns a new, sorted array.

+// -[NSArray sortedArrayUsingSelector]. If |comparer| is nil, nil is returned.
