+merge pulls a chunk from both `left` and `right` and then compares them.
+`compare` has a similar signature as `Array#sort(compare)`
+**but if the two chunks are compared the same**, the chunk from the right stream
 is taken, but the left chunk is dropped.
 Otherwise, the lowest chunk is passed to the stream.
