	def dict_merge(orig, changes):
	""" Recursive dict merge. Inspired by :meth:``dict.update()``, instead of
	updating only top-level keys, dict_merge recurses down into dicts nested
	to an arbitrary depth, updating keys. The ``changes`` is merged with
	``orig`` and returned as ``dct``
	:param orig: dict onto which the merge is executed
	:param changes: dct merged into dct
	:return: dict
