I've updated the _merge_hashes() method so it can also merge arrays
and hashes into a new array.
For example, this:

---
default_args:
  elements:
    DateTime:
      constraints:
        - type: DateTime
          parser:
            strptime: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:00'
elements:
    - type: DateTime
      name: foo
      constraints:
        type: Required

Will now be munged into this, before being passed to populate()

---
elements:
    - type: DateTime
      name: foo
      constraints:
        - type: DateTime
          parser:
            strptime: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:00'
        - type: Required

This is fixed in svn -r1724

Cheers,
