Ian Cook updated ARROW-12711:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
These are the aggregating versions of string concatenation—they combine values 
from a set of rows into a single value. 

The bindings for {{paste()}} and {{str_c()}} might be tricky to implement 
because when these functions are called with the {{coallapse}} argument unset, 
they do _not_ aggregate.

In {{summarise()}} we need to be able to use scalar concatenation within 
aggregate concatenation, like this: 
{code:java}
starwars %>%
  filter(!is.na(hair_color) & !is.na(eye_color)) %>% 
  group_by(homeworld) %>% 
  summarise(hair_and_eyes = paste0(paste0(hair_color, "-haired and ", 
"eye_color", "-eyed"), collapse = ", ")){code}

  was:These are the aggregating versions of string concatenation—they combine 
values from a set of rows into a single value.
