I think "append" is just as clear as concatenate, and collate implies
shuffling which is not happening.

I'm wary of adding too much duplicate functionality.  It is already
possible to organize the tangling of many named code blocks using noweb
reference expansion (a feature which I've used myself on real projects
in the past).  This existing method allows for unique block names and
for arbitrary tangling order.

Simplicity is the only reason that the new name-based appending behavior
was implemented, simplicity which (in my opinion) is lost when the user
defines a naming and sorting schema.
