.SYNOPSIS
    Function that accepts a FunctionInfo or CmdletInfo reference and one or more parameters
    and returns a FunctionInfo bound to those parameter(s) and their value(s.)
.DESCRIPTION
    Function that accepts a FunctionInfo or CmdletInfo reference and one or more parameters
    and returns a FunctionInfo bound to those parameter(s) and their value(s.)
    
    Any parameters "merged" into the function are removed from the available parameters for
    future invocations. Multiple chained merge-parameter calls are permitted.
.EXAMPLE

    First, we define a simple function:
    
    function test {
        param($a, $b, $c, $d);
        "a: $a; b: $b; c:$c; d:$d"
    }
    
    Now we merge -b parameter into functioninfo with the static value of 5, returning a new
    functioninfo:
    
    ps> $x = merge-parameter (gcm test) -b 5
    
    We execute the new functioninfo with the & (call) operator, passing in the remaining 
    arguments:
    
    ps> & $x -a 2 -c 4 -d 9
    a: 2; b: 5; c: 4; d: 9
    
    Now we merge two new parameters in, -c with the value 3 and -d with 5:
    
    ps> $y = merge-parameter $x -c 3 -d 5
    
    Again we call $y with the remaining named parameter -a:
    
    ps> & $y -a 2
    a: 2; b: 5; c: 3; d: 5
.EXAMPLE

    Cmdlets can also be subject to partial application. In this case we create a new
    function with the returned functioninfo:
    
    ps> si function:get-function (merge-parameter (gcm get-command) -commandtype function)
    ps> get-function
    <lists all commands of commandtype "function">            
.PARAMETER _CommandInfo
    The FunctionInfo or CmdletInfo into which to merge (apply) parameter(s.)
    
    The parameter is named with a leading underscore character to prevent parameter
    collisions when exposing the targetted command's parameters and dynamic parameters.
.INPUTS
    FunctionInfo or CmdletInfo
