If we're going to have a split or splitBy then wouldn't the most
logical name be unsplit or unsplitBy?  I think consperse and intercat
are cute, but not that good because they don't really tell me what's
going on.  I think 'connect' is too vague and overloaded.  So yeah, my
vote is with unsplitBy.  On the other hand, whoever implments it
should get to choose the name and just be done with it :)

Anyway, just some fuel for the fire :)
