    //! Combine two monadic structures together.
    //! @ingroup group-MonadPlus
    //!
    //! Given two monadic structures, `concat` combines them together and
    //! returns a new monadic structure. The exact definition of `concat`
    //! will depend on the exact model of MonadPlus at hand, but for
    //! sequences it corresponds intuitively to simple concatenation.
    //!
    //! Also note that combination is not required to be commutative.
    //! In other words, there is no requirement that
    //! @code
    //!     concat(xs, ys) == concat(ys, xs)
    //! @endcode
    //! and indeed it does not hold in general.
    //!
    //!
    //! Signature
    //! ---------
    //! Given a `MonadPlus` `M`, the signature of `concat` is
    //! @f$ \mathtt{concat} : M(T) \times M(T) \to M(T) @f$.
    //!
    //! @param xs, ys
    //! Two monadic structures to combine together.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/concat.cpp
