    public class CollectionAppend
extends AbstractTransformer
implements StorageUpdater
    Appends the elements of the incoming collection to the one in storage.
    If there is none in storage yet, a copy of the incoming collection will simply get stored in storage.
    The combined collection is then forwarded.

    Input/output:
    - accepts:
       java.util.Collection
    - generates:
       java.util.Collection
