Research direction
Examine the existing `setProperty` function in the dot prop source code (likely index.js). Identify where the property is set and how to conditionally merge instead of replace based on a new parameter. Review any existing tests in the test file to understand expected behavior. Consider any comments in the issue for specific use cases.
