// StrAppend()
//    Same as above, but adds the output to the given string.
//    WARNING: For speed, StrAppend does not try to check each of its input
//    arguments to be sure that they are not a subset of the string being
//    appended to.  That is, while this will work:
//
//    string s = "foo";
//    s += s;
//
//    This will not (necessarily) work:
//
//    string s = "foo";
//    StrAppend(&s, s);
//
//    Note: while StrCat supports appending up to 9 arguments, StrAppend
//    is currently limited to 4.  That's rarely an issue except when
//    automatically transforming StrCat to StrAppend, and can easily be
//    worked around as consecutive calls to StrAppend are quite efficient.
