#Write a function that combines several dictionaries by creating a new dictionary
#with all the keys of the original ones. If a key appears in more than one input
#dictionary, the value corresponding to that key in the new dictionary should be
#a list containing all the values encountered in the input dictionaries that
#correspond to that key.
