Review Comment:
   I like the idea, couldn't we potentially use this for other operations such 
as reverse() which might cause the same inefficiency as union() today?
   
   Can we hit it with a simple random test for good feelings about it?
   ```java
   for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
     Automaton expected = AutomatonTestUtil.randomAutomata(random);
     Automaton actual = mergeAcceptStates(expected);
     assertSameLanguage(expected, actual);
   }
   ```
