Append(Array <other>)

A function that copies all the data of another array and puts it on the tail end of the calling array.

When it comes to larger arrays, this will be useful if done on the engine side instead of the scripting side where Push would be needed for every element of the array we wish to append.

Right now, the most efficient manner I'm using is to use a temporary array that Copy()s the largest array, then manually pushes each member of other arrays whose data I want, but this is still a huge concern for performance. The use case here is basically to traverse multiple arrays at once without needing to repeat code, which can become problematic if there's quite a few arrays involved as it makes code organization a bit messy.

Just curious, why you need to do this?

Also makes the code a lot easier to read if we're not having to set up for loops each time.

The biggest boon on top of that is the performance optimization.

Pull request.

Oooh, thank you!

Actually, it's pretty simple. I thing you could do it yourself. Made PR because I wasn't sure about its inclusion in upcoming release.

No need to delay this.

That not what I meant. I mint "why you need to append several arrays into one?"

Does it matter? It's merely an export of an already existing function.

Just curious.

Because otherwise, you have to repeat code and it gets messy.
