* Would you like to distinguish item concatenation better from
  the more advanced application of a merge algorithm?

* Where is the information presented and explained that such data structures
  would be involved here?

I hope that data processing requirements can be clarified accordingly.

Will any other structures become more appropriate for data merging?
