/**
 * Returns the result of concatenating the given lists or strings.
 * Note: RA.concatAll expects all elements to be of the same type. It will throw an error if you concat an Array with a non-Array value.
 * Dispatches to the concat method of the preceding element, if present. Can also concatenate multiple elements of a [fantasy-land compatible semigroup](https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land#semigroup).
 * Returns undefined if empty array was passed.
