tracker issue : CF-4201960

Issue: The "Modifying a ColdFusion XML object" doc's description of StructAppend is: "Appends a document fragment XML document object to another XML document object.", but there is no example.

I'm unsure what a working example would look like. FWIW, these all fail (i.e. the "bar" node does not appear in the dumps):

<cfscript>
  xmlDoc1 = xmlParse("<myXML><foo>foo</foo></myXML>");
  xmlDoc2 = xmlParse("<myXML><bar>bar</bar></myXML>");
  structAppend(xmlDoc1.myXML, xmlDoc2.myXML);//WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.
  writeDump(xmlDoc1);
  abort;
</cfscript>

<cfscript>
  xmlDoc = xmlParse("<myXML><foo>foo</foo></myXML>");
  xmlElem = xmlElemNew(xmlDoc, "bar");
  structAppend(xmlDoc.myXML, xmlElem);
  writeDump(xmlDoc);//does not show the "bar" node
  abort;
</cfscript>

<cfscript>
  xmlDoc = xmlParse("<myXML><foo>foo</foo><bar>bar</bar></myXML>");
  xmlFragDoc = duplicate(xmlDoc.myXML.xmlNodes[2]);
  structDelete(xmlDoc.myXML, "bar");
  structAppend(xmlDoc.myXML, xmlFragDoc);
  writeDump(xmlDoc);//does not show the "bar" node
  abort;
</cfscript>
