OrderedBag<(Of <(<'T>)>)>..::..Union Method

Computes the union of this bag with another bag. The union of two bags is all items from both of the bags. If an item appears X times in one bag, and Y times in the other bag, the union contains the item Maximum(X,Y) times. A new bag is created with the union of the bags and is returned. This bag and the other bag are unchanged.
