concatenation of codes #27

there are minor problems arising from this.

some users do not have codes at all. The default option should be "It does not apply" or something like that, at least when the user did not choose any variable with codes, in step 1 of "headers and units".

I think it can be better if instead of just one question in the step 2, we present one question for each of the selected columns, or no question whatsoever if the user did not choose any column.

the user should be explicit in the punctuation points that they use. We can extract the options from the content of those variables instead of offering a pre-selected list.

the separation may be different in different columns.

some codes have the form "not.recruited", with points. People love points. This makes a mess. We want users to be able to un-select points (in general, to choose explicitly the appropriate separators between codes).
