/**
 * Concatenate a string to the end of another string.
 * The resulting strings must not overlap with the appended string.
 * 
 * The use of this function is often a really bad idea.
 * 
 * @param   whither  The string to extend.
 * @param   whence   The string to append.
 * @param   maxlen   The maximum number of wide characters to copy.
 *                   NOTE that if the resulting string at least this
 *                   long, no NUL character will be written to `whither'.
 *                   On the otherhand, if the resultnig string is
 *                   shorter, `whither` will be filled with NUL characters
 *                   until this amount of characters have been written.
 * @return           `whither` is returned.
 * 
 * @since  Always.
