Vocabulary

Outputs
newseqa sequence


Word description
Concatenates a sequence of sequences together into one sequence, placing a copy of glue between each pair of sequences. The resulting sequence is of the same class as glue.

Examples
Join a list of strings:
USING: sequences prettyprint ; { "cat" "dog" "ant" } " " join .
"cat dog ant"


Notes
If the glue sequence is empty, this word calls concat-as.

Errors
Throws an error if one of the sequences in seq contains elements not permitted in sequences of the same class as glue.
