Array relative merge
I was playing with an array modifier and figured out that it would be very handy if we had also a relative merge checkbox in the array settings. That would be very useful if you are using a scaled down object offset. It would prevent the merge from merging the wrong vertices together when the array is becoming really small. See the image for current behavior, the vertices are being merged in the small part of the object in a wrong way.

I think there should be more control from curve, like size and spin. But I see what you want to do and adaptive merge is good gor it, But there is Sverchok (addon) for such things. Not just array.
* @ Vyacheslav * That also is true. The Array modifier has been in need of redesign for years. This could be left there as an array legacy and then there should be new one with all the new things.
* @Artturi Mäntysaari * Agree. Or checkbox «Advanced» that expands modifier`s area and show additional/new features. Anyway it will not be fast: at first devs make 2.82—2.84 with everything/modifiers nodes, and then, may be, will go to improve modifiers.

* @Josephbburg * Yeah, true. I was very busy when I made this and wanted to just add this here before I forget the whole thing. It's now updated.
