The problem of the original is that some API names use
"mergeinfo" and others use "merge info". In the Ruby
bindings, we provide both "mergeinfo" and "merge_info".

Users will not be confused because one is just alias of
other. They can use both of them what they like in their
script. And Ruby has many aliases. For example, collect and
map, size and length, and so on. I think those aliases help
users to write their script what they like. I hope the Ruby
bindings have Rubyish API because the Ruby bindings is used
by Rubyist.

Thanks,
