cc.R

#' Concatenate with Commas
#'
#' Concatenates object values into a string with each value separated by a comma
#' and the last value separated by a conjunction.
#'
#' By default, if x has more than 10 values an ellipsis is used
#' to ensure only 10 values are displayed (including the ellipsis).
#'
#' @param x The object to concatenate.
#' @param conj A string of the conjunction to separate the last value by.
#' @param sep A string of the separator.
#' @param brac A string to brac the values by.
#' @param ellipsis A numeric scalar of the maximum number of values to display
#' before using an ellipsis.
#' @param chk A flag specifying whether to check the other parameters.
#'
#' @return A string.
