- Default by is `intersect(names(x)
names(y))` — can silently merge on unintended columns if data frames share column names.

- subset argument uses non-standard evaluation — column names are resolved in the data frame
which can silently pick up wrong variables in programmatic use. Use [ with explicit logic in functions.
