Example - Multiple Merge

Any argument whose name starts with 'feed' will be processed into the union. Here four feeds are merged...

<instr>
  <type>feedUnion</type>
  <feed1>../data/rss1.xml</feed1>
  <feed2>../data/rss2.xml</feed2>
  <feed3>../data/rss3.xml</feed3>

  <target>this:response</target>
</instr>
