I vote for the proposal to change the behavior of append() and prepend(). The impact should be minimal and it is clearer and more intuitive.
I like the original documentation, it's clear and concise. It should still be valid even with the proposed change.
Some things of note:
append(atom1, atom2) would be the same as atom1 & atom2
append(atom1, sequence1) would be the same as append({atom1}, sequence1)
Ok, I've now implemented a prototype implementation at http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euphoria/rev/b49d88483f04
There may be room to improve upon this, but at least it's a starting point. If we still want to do this, that is.
