use transients in merge and merge-with?

[Chouser]

'into' uses transients internally. A brief look at 'merge' and
'merge-with' suggests they could as well. Would this be desirable?

Would transients be faster or improve code reuse? No need to change working code otherwise.

It's likely use of transients would improve performance when
merging a large number of maps or merging large maps.
