Concatenate strings. The `*` operator is an alias to this function.

# Example
Concatenate strings and/or characters, producing a [`String`](@ref). This is equivalent
to calling the [`string`](@ref) function on the arguments.

# Examples
```jldoctest
julia> "Hello " * "world"
"Hello world"

julia> 'j' * "ulia"
"julia"
```

Aside from some of the linalg code, typically there isn't a space after the comma in Union. Probably best to keep consistency within this file and alike.


one(::Union{T,Type{T}}) where {T<:AbstractString} = convert(T, "")
