fun <T, A : Appendable> Sequence<T>.joinTo( buffer: A, separator: CharSequence = ", ", prefix: CharSequence = "", postfix: CharSequence = "", limit: Int = -1, truncated: CharSequence = "...", transform: ((T) -> CharSequence)? = null ): A
Appends the string from all the elements separated using separator and using the given prefix and postfix if supplied.
If the collection could be huge, you can specify a non-negative value of limit, in which case only the first limit elements will be appended, followed by the truncated string (which defaults to "...").
The operation is terminal.

val firstNumbers = StringBuilder("First five numbers: ")
println(lotOfNumbers.joinTo(firstNumbers, limit = 5).toString()) // First five numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
