Yes, we can delete patch as update does already the job

In DHIS2 it's very possible to update a resource by just sending the parts we wanna update. Expression's like this:

update('programStages', 'eaDHS084uMp', {
  name: 'ANC 1st visit',
});

work very well.

I'm still seeing this in the DHIS2 web api docs: https://docs.dhis2.org/en/develop/using-the-api/dhis-core-version-235/web-api.html#webapi_partial_updates

I know it's possible that those docs are out of date, but it still seems strange that they make sure a big point of "partial updates".

Also, if we delete this I wonder if it's worth giving an example of changing the the http request method in update to use patch instead of put. Something like:

update(resourceType, path, data, {
  requestConfig: { method: 'PATCH' }
})

Also, it looks like the changes to ast.json are unintentional here. I bet you need to run npm install to get the latest version of simple-ast, but please take care to keep unintentional changes out of PRs.
