I don't think so. No. There are enough differences between L::U and L::MU for the same function names that a complete merge probably isn't possible. L::U uses array refs as arguments to functions that process multiple lists. L::MU uses arrays with prototyping. The best we could do is copy as much as possible to L::U and update L::MU to either point users to L::U or maybe load it up and just pass though.
