> I support taking Merge out into a dedicated interface.

We should certainly consider this. It's a tradeoff between:

* move Merge to Conn.I.Mergeable (requires Conference, Group, Channel) -
proliferation of interfaces doesn't really benefit anyone

* keep Merge in Conn.I.Conference - Conference is bigger and more confusing for
clients; CMs that can't *really* merge channels have to add simple boilerplate
to implement Merge() as equivalent to AddMembers([TargetHandle])

neither of which is really desirable.

If nobody objects strongly, I'm going to merge Conference in its current draft
state for 0.19.0 (a merged draft is better than nothing), and require a
resolution for this problem before we undraft it. We need to gather
implementation experience before undrafting anyway.

XMPP MUCs are "multi-user conferences", so I don't see this as a problem :-)
