The docs for heapq.merge are a little misleading. Iterables passed into heapq.merge with the reversed flag set to True must be sorted from largest to smallest to achieve the desired sorting effect, but the paragraph describing the function in the general case states that they should be sorted from smallest to largest.

The PR was applied to 3.7. I don't think it is worth backing.
