Hi, please review this patch to StringConcatFactory which (I think) simplifies the folding of constants around arguments by folding any suffix constant into the newArray combinator instead.
This simplifies the code in all prependers and in the general flow of the bootstrap code, at the cost of some added complexity around newArray and the new newArrayPrepend combinator. Slightly improves bootstrap and footprint overheads by not having to bind as many arguments to the prependers.
