Description

I don't know whether to make this a bug or a feature request.
When using `task <#> append` to add additional information to an issue I tend to use a semicolon. Currently, `append` adds a space after the original string (or the string always contains a space at the end?), making this kind of separator ugly (space ; space).

An improvement would be:
- no character is added when appending
- there is a setting for what character(s) are added when appending.

This might be something to add to `prepend` as well.

----

* What command(s) did you run?
`task add "sth sth"
`task 1 append "; sthsth"`

* What did you expect to happen?
The end result should contain the text "sth sth; sthsth".

* What actually happened?
The text contains an additional space after where the first string ended "sth sth ; sthsth".

* Paste the output of the ```task diag``` command.
```tasksh> diag
