/**

 * Merge and update a user's metadata

 * Update a user's metadata attributes by merging existing values with the provided parameters.

This endpoint behaves differently than the *Update a user* endpoint.

Metadata values will not be replaced entirely.

Instead, a deep merge will be performed.

Deep means that any nested JSON objects will be merged as well.

You can remove metadata keys at any level by setting their value to `null`.
