This is probably better done in C code. We don't do any fancy SIMD shenanigans here. The only reason I did it in assembly in D42600 is that the implementation shared a file with an optimised assembly implementation, so it couldn't be done in C.

Code looks ok.

alright, that makes sense. I'll replace it.

strcat in C instead of assembly
