function opts = mergeOptions(opts1, opts2)
% Merges two options structures with one having precedence over the other.
%
% function opts = mergeOptions(opts1, opts2)
%
% input: opts1 and opts2 are two structures.
% output: opts is a structure containing all fields of opts1 and opts2.
% Whenever a field is present in both opts1 and opts2, it is the value in
% opts2 that is kept.
%
% The typical usage is to have opts1 contain default options and opts2
% contain user-specified options that overwrite the defaults.
