[BUG] x-merge=prepend,append,update does not seem to work

[dephiros]

Hi,
I am testing out the lib and stumble upon an unexpected behavior trying to follow the doc.
Setting x-merge=append or prepend... does not seem to work.
I added a codepen and loom below. Apologize ahead of time if I miss something obvious
🙏

Hey An, thank you for the thorough bug report. Looking into this now.

Yeah, so v0.4 changed x-merge to a proper Alpine directive instead of a plain HTML attribute. This meant that if x-merge wasn't inside an Alpine component (initialized with x-init or x-data) it stopped working.
v0.4.1 should fix this. Thanks!
