<concat>
Purpose/Function
Concatenates strings into a single string. The <substring> can be an arbitrary object (toString() is implicitly called on it).
This task exists only for the sake of explicitness. The same operation can be achieved more simply (see the second example below) using the built-in expression mechanism.

Examples
<ogrescript>
<declare name="object" string="frag1"/>
<declare name="frag0" string=".toString() = "/>
<declare name="frag1">
<new-object/>
</declare>
<concat>
<substring>RESULT: </substring>
<substring>${object}</substring>
<substring>${frag0}</substring>
<substring>${frag1}</substring>
<return-value assignedName="frag0" defaultName="newString"/>
</concat>
<echo message="${frag0}"/>
</ogrescript>
The above example is equivalent to doing:
<ogrescript>
<declare name="object" string="frag1"/>
<declare name="frag0" string=".toString() = "/>
<declare name="frag1">
<new-object/>
</declare>
<assign name="frag0" string="RESULT: ${object}${frag0}${frag1}"/>
<echo message="${frag0}"/>
</ogrescript>
