<para>
Does the same as the update operator <literal>//</literal> except that
attributes are merged until the given predicate is verified. The predicate
should accept 3 arguments which are the path to reach the attribute, a part
of the first attribute set and a part of the second attribute set. When the
predicate is verified, the value of the first attribute set is replaced by
the value of the second attribute set.
