(Vector Functions): vconcat no longer allows integer args.

52146:c78c690c99e8

The @code{vconcat} function also allows byte-code function objects as
arguments.  This is a special feature to make it easy to access the entire
contents of a byte-code function object.  @xref{Byte-Code Objects}.

The @code{vconcat} function also allows integers as arguments.  It
converts them to strings of digits, making up the decimal print
representation of the integer, and then uses the strings instead of the
original integers.  @strong{Don't use this feature; we plan to eliminate
it.  If you already use this feature, change your programs now!}  The
proper way to convert an integer to a decimal number in this way is with
@code{format} (@pxref{Formatting Strings}) or @code{number-to-string}
(@pxref{String Conversion}).

For other concatenation functions, see @code{mapconcat} in @ref{Mapping
Functions}, @code{concat} in @ref{Creating Strings}, and @code{append}
in @ref{Building Lists}.

In Emacs versions before 21, the @code{vconcat} function allowed
integers as arguments, converting them to strings of digits, but that
feature has been eliminated.  The proper way to convert an integer to
a decimal number in this way is with @code{format} (@pxref{Formatting
Strings}) or @code{number-to-string} (@pxref{String Conversion}).
