I'll try paraphrasing to see if I understand you and the examples: given 2
lists, [a0, a1, .., an] and [b0, b1, ..., bn], you want the elements of b
to be concantenated to the a list, rather than putting a single item
consistenting of the b list at the end of the a list.
Roughly
for item in b:
a.append(item)
Did I get it?
