Can't merge custom context when using collection

[bootleq]

I'm in a Rails project, using concept helper to do render:

concept('some/cell/index', collection: Song.all, context: {foo: :bar})

While I found the context hash will always be overwritten as {controller: ...}, but my expected result is a hash with foo key.

Some tracing:

• cells-rails adds controller into context.
  https://github.com/trailblazer/cells-rails/blob/v0.0.7/lib/cell/rails.rb#L10-L11
• cells, will try merge options back to model where model here is actually an hash including options.
  https://github.com/trailblazer/cells/blob/4-0/lib/cell/view_model.rb#L62

Does my usage reasonable? If yes I think we can do a deep_merge to avoid options overwritten.

I just ran into a similar issue -- found a workaround... adding nil in the place of an object allowed me to work around this and get the object I expected from context:

= concept('deal/cell', nil, context: { fields: ff }).(:form)

Perhaps if you tried:

concept('some/cell/index', nil, collection: Song.all, context: {foo: :bar})

You'd be in luck?
