Further information
1. This function concatenates the elements of an input list or set to produce a text string. Items are separated by the provided separator string that may be an empty string.
2. The argument mxe may be used to specify a maximum number of elements to process (the remaining portion of the input data is ignored). If this limit is negative then the elements are taken from the end of the collection ( e.g. with -3 the last 3 elements of the collection are used), otherwise elements are taken from the beginning.
