I believe among new users or infrequent users, if a user passes an atom as a first argument to append, it is probably because they are accidentally reversing the order of the parameters and not because they want to treat atoms as length-one sequences that contain that atom.

Sometimes, one just has to learn the API. For example, ... 

   -- Ensure that the output has a new-line added. 
   puts(NEWLINE, STDOUT)

Oops! Parameters are the wrong way around.
