/// Merging prims and properties is done on a field-by-field basis.
/// In general, if a field has a value in \p strongLayer, the value from
/// \p weakLayer will be ignored. However, certain fields have special
/// rules for merging values together:
///
/// - For map and dictionary-valued fields (including time samples),
///   a dictionary merge is performed; values in the weaker dictionary
///   are copied into the stronger dictionary only if the key does not
///   already exist.
///
/// - For listOp-valued fields, the listOps will be combined into a 
///   single listOp. The historical "add" and "reorder" list op operations
///   cannot be combined in this way; "add" will be converted to "append", 
///   and "reorder" will be discarded.
///
/// - The minimum startTimeCode value and maximum endTimeCode value will
///   be used.
