append-items collection new-items

Arguments

collection⇩	A collection.
new-items⇩	A sequence.

Description

The generic function append-items adds the items in new-items to the collection collection.

This is logically equivalent to recalculating the collection items and calling (setf collection-items). However, append-items is more efficient and causes less flickering on screen.

append-items can only be used when the collection has the default items-get-function svref.

Notes

append-items cannot be used a graph-pane or a tree-view.
