 36819.3.diff adds docs

 > `array_merge_recursive` can be a potentially expensive operation, so if

 In this case though, isn't the likelihood of `array_merge_recursive()`
 actually being called negligible? I have a hard time imagining a scenario
 where it's called, and actually has a performance impact.
