`implode` is a shell utility that joins input delimited by the specified separator (or IFS) on the specified delimiter.

Example:

    $ ls | implode
    manREADMEsrc

It is more or less a shortcut for
    $ tr '$IFS' '$delim' | sed -i "s/$delim$//"

However, `implode` allows you to specify the separator and the delimeter, and each can be multiple characters.

    $ ls | implode -sDM -d,, -e
    man
    REA,,E
    src

This works like other shell utilities in that it will try to implode the file provided, or otherwise use stdin.
This allows `implode` to be used with pipes.

Usage: implode [-h] [-d <delimiter>] [-s <separator>] [file]...

See `man implode`
