\title{\code{modifyList} for multiple lists}
\usage{
modifyList2(..., keep.null = FALSE)

modifyList3(..., keep.null = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{One or more named lists.}

\item{keep.null}{ If \code{TRUE}, \code{NULL} elements in \code{val}
    become \code{NULL} elements in \code{x}.  Otherwise, the
    corresponding element, if present, is deleted from \code{x}. }
}
\description{
This calls \code{\link[utils:modifyList]{utils::modifyList}} iteratively using
\code{\link[base:Reduce]{base::Reduce}}, so it can handle >2 lists.
The subsequent list elements that share a name will override
previous list elements with that same name.
It also will handle the case where any list is a \code{NULL}. Note:
default \code{keep.null = TRUE}, which is different than \code{modifyList}
}
\details{
More or less a convenience around
\code{Reduce(modifyList, list(...))}, with some checks, and the addition of
\code{keep.null = TRUE} by default.
}
\note{
\code{modifyList3} retains the original behaviour of \code{modifyList2} (prior to
Oct 2022); however, it cannot retain \code{NULL} values in lists.

\examples{
modifyList2(list(a = 1), list(a = 2, b = 2))
modifyList2(list(a = 1), NULL, list(a = 2, b = 2))
modifyList2(
  list(a = 1), list(x = NULL), list(a = 2, b = 2),
  list(a = 3, c = list(1:10))
)
}
