        `paste' converts its arguments to character strings,
        and concatenates them (separating them by the string
        given by `sep').  If a value is specified for `col-
        lapse', the values in the result are then concatenated
        into a single string, with the elements being separated
        by the value of `collapse'.

        The concatenated value is returned as the value of
        `paste'.
