Feature #1599
ConcatStr
Description
Do we want to have a function ConcatStr (and possibly a variant which puts a "separator" between the strings in the list)?
This was first suggested in issue #1587.
Discuss, decide, implement (if nec).

I already have an impl (see #1587#note-6 and #1431#note-9).
I think it could be useful. The only doubt I have currently is whether it should simply be called by concat if the arg passed is a list of strings...
Advantage of a separate name is that it is clearer from the fn name what is being computed (also it would work with an empty list).
Disadvantage is that the user would have to learn another name (and with well-chosen var names the advantage above would be only minor).
It is not entirely clear to me how we could detect inside the impl for concat whether the arg is a list of strings without encountering problems of double-evaluation.
Opinions?

The fn maps a list of strings to a string by concatenation.
Should the fn be called ConcatStr or ConcatStrs?

Renamed to ConcatStrings.
Very clear.
