[lang] StringUtils overlay/concatenate/getNested
One final pass through StringUtils suggests these method names as dubious
- overlayString - shouldn't have 'String' in name. Better named as 'replace'
- concatenate - does the name as join(array, null) so should be called
join(array)
- getNestedString - poor name, again with String in it.
Any views on changing these names (by deprecation of course)

How about simply "catenate" (aka the UNIX `cat` command)?
Otherwise +0 for "join" which is a established term (perl).
