## @deftypefn  {Function File} {@var{str} =} strjoin (@var{cstr})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{str} =} strjoin (@var{cstr}, @var{delimiter})
## Join the elements of the cell string array, @var{cstr}, into a single
## string.
##
## If no @var{delimiter} is specified, the elements of @var{cstr}
## separated by a space.
##
## If @var{delimiter} is specified as a string, the cell string array is
## joined using the string.  Escape sequences are supported.
##
## If @var{delimiter} is a cell string array whose length is one less
## than @var{cstr}, then the elements of @var{cstr} are joined by
## interleaving the cell string elements of @var{delimiter}.  Escape
## sequences are not supported.
##
## @example
## @group
## strjoin (@{'Octave','Scilab','Lush','Yorick'@}, '*')
##       @result{} 'Octave*Scilab*Lush*Yorick'
## @end group
## @end example
## @seealso {strsplit}
## @end deftypefn
