/**
   * Returns a hash function which computes its hash code by concatenating the hash codes of the
   * underlying hash functions together. This can be useful if you need to generate hash codes of a
   * specific length.
   *
   * <p>For example, if you need 1024-bit hash codes, you could join two {@link Hashing#sha512} hash
   * functions together: {@code Hashing.concatenating(Hashing.sha512(), Hashing.sha512())}.
   *
   * @since 19.0

     * is the only one in use, but if we encounter nested concatenations, we start a deque of
     * meta-iterators rather than letting the nesting get arbitrarily deep.  This keeps each
     * operation O(1).
