+description:
+     - Assembles a configuration file from fragments. Often a particular
+       program will take a single configuration file and does not support a
+       C(conf.d) style structure where it is easy to build up the configuration
+       from multiple sources. Assemble will take a directory of files that have
+       already been transferred to the system, and concatenate them together to
+       produce a destination file. Files are assembled in string sorting order.
+       Puppet calls this idea I(fragments).
