I had inconsistent usage of the "_append" style operator syntax
in the chaper. I was using a mix of <filename>_append</filename>
and "_append". I changed to "_append" for consistency.

operator rather than the "+=" operator.

since at some point in the future, having the default of expansion would
be nice. This is the first step towards that.
