Idiom #53 Join a list of strings

Concatenate elements of string list x joined by the separator ", " to create a single string y.

Turning the strings "eggs", "butter", "milk" into the string "eggs, butter, milk"
Dim x = {"a", "b", "c", "d"}.ToList
Dim y = String.Join(",", x)
val y = listOf(x).joinToString(", ")
with Ada.Containers.Indefinite_Vectors; use Ada.Containers;
with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded;
declare
   Last : Cursor := X.Last;
   Y : Unbounded_String;
         
begin
   for C in X.Iterate loop
      Y := Y & Element (C) & (if C = Last then "" else ", ");
   end loop;
end;
