Re: Conventional name proposal: merge

In LuaDura, I wrote a function named `array_concat`.
An important difference compared to other implementations so far is that it operates _recursively_.
Its goal is to "flatten" a hierarchy of arrays into a single array (or sequence).


function dura.array_concat(...)
    local res, arg = {}, {...}
    local function insert(val)
        if type(val) == 'table' and (#val > 0 or next(val) == nil) then
            for _,j in ipairs(val) do


                insert(j)
            end
        else
            table.insert(res, val)
        end
    end
    insert(arg)
    return res
end
