ConcatColumn / String Layer
Concatenate (join) two string columns, with an optional separator between them. Similar to pandas str.cat() or Python's string join operations. Useful for:
- Combining name fields (first name + last name)
- Creating full addresses (street + city)
- Building composite identifiers
- Joining hierarchical categories
