.SH EXAMPLES
Although \fBconcat\fR will concatenate lists (so the command:
+.PP
.CS
\fBconcat\fR a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
.CE
+.PP
will return
.QW "\fBa b c d e f {g h}\fR"
as its result), it will also
concatenate things that are not lists, and hence the command:
+.PP
.CS
\fBconcat\fR " a b {c " d " e} f"
.CE
+.PP
will return
.QW "\fBa b {c d e} f\fR"
as its result.
.PP
Note that the concatenation does not remove spaces from the middle of
its arguments, so the command:
+.PP
.CS
\fBconcat\fR "a b c" { d e f }
.CE
+.PP
will return
.QW "\fBa b c d e f\fR"
(i.e. with three spaces between
the \fBa\fR, the \fBb\fR and the \fBc\fR).
