Unfortunately, this change would break our use case, consider the following scenario

	dst := map[string]interface{}{
		"foo":   nil,
		"bar":   1,
	}
	src := struct {
		Foo   *string
		Bar   int
	}{
		Foo: &"hello",
		Bar: 42,
	}
	if err := mergo.Map(&dst, src); err != nil {
		t.Error(err)
	}

we expect *dst["foo"] == "hello" and dst["bar"] == 1

@frankdvd Your use case seems to be an unintended consequence. Mergo shouldn't flatten structures while mapping.

dstMap[fieldName] = src.Field(i).Interface()
}
}
