Relation to PropertyDicts.jl

[milankl]

What is the relation of this package to PropertyDicts.jl? There seems to be more activity here, but the other one is in a Julia org. Maybe this information could also be added to the readme?

I'm looking for a drop-in replacement of struct with Dict without changing .key to [:key]. Happy to give up on dispatch in exchange for dynamically adding/removing fields. In the end I just need a collection that holds a set of large arrays, overhead is likely negligible as these arrays will be unpacked before passing on to other functions. I don't think I need the merging functionality described here so I was wondering whether to use PropDicts.jl or PropertyDicts.jl

Originates from SpeedyWeather/SpeedyWeather.jl#847

I think PropertyDicts.jl only provides getproperty. PropDicts goes a lot further with support for deep-merges, removing null values, and so on. I'll also add a YAML interface soon (just stuck in ToDo list at the moment, like #5, which I really need to get done).

If you need specific features for SpeedyWeather, we can also see if we can add them here.
