joinTo
fun <T, A : Appendable> Sequence<T>.joinTo(
buffer: A,
separator: CharSequence = ", ",
prefix: CharSequence = "",
postfix: CharSequence = "",
limit: Int = -1,
truncated: CharSequence = "...",
transform: ((T) -> CharSequence)? = null
): A(source)
Appends the string from all the elements separated using separator and using the given prefix and postfix if supplied.
If the collection could be huge, you can specify a non-negative value of limit, in which case only the first limit elements will be appended, followed by the truncated string (which defaults to "...").
The operation is terminal.
