Appends the contents of multiple arrays into array 1.

*Example:*

    concat(['1','2','3'],['4','5','6'],['7','8','9'])

Would result in:

  ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9']

    # Check that 2 arguments have been given ...
    raise(Puppet::ParseError, "concat(): Wrong number of arguments " +
      "given (#{arguments.size} for 2)") if arguments.size != 2

    a = arguments[0]
    b = arguments[1]

    # Check that the first parameter is an array
    unless a.is_a?(Array)
      raise(Puppet::ParseError, 'concat(): Requires array to work with')
