    // Note: In many of the Chilkat examples, you may notice strange ways
    // of doing something that should be simpler and shorter.  For example,
    // building the piggyPath (above) could've been written differently,
    // with some simple string concatenation.
    // 
    // The reason is that the Chilkat examples are written in a 
    // proprietary "example code" scripting language,
    // and then automatically generated to each of the different programming
    // languages you see on example-code.com.  The code generation is
    // limited in what it can do.  For example, string concatentation
    // is not yet a feature of the "example code" scripting language (as of May 2016), 
    // and therefore you won't see the use of a programming language's string
    // concatentation operators in any example.
