Meta fields inheritance: doc and code disagree

[weber-s]

In the doc it is stated that:

https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/api-reference.html#Table.Meta

All attributes are overwritten if defined in the child’s class Meta, no merging is attempted.

However, in the code there is:

tables.py:40

        # If this class is subclassing other tables, add their fields as
        # well. Note that we loop over the bases in *reverse* - this is
        # necessary to preserve the correct order of columns.
        parent_columns = []
        for base in reversed(bases):
            if hasattr(base, "base_columns"):
                parent_columns = list(base.base_columns.items()) + parent_columns

        # Start with the parent columns
        base_columns = OrderedDict(parent_columns)

So, in fact, fields attribute is indeed merge between parent and child.

I don't know which behavior is wanted, but this confusion is... confusing 😃
