Concatenate function should accept cell-ranges

Why should a user have to specify:
=Concatenate(A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3)
?
Why not simply:
=Concatenate(A1:B3)
?
This would make it *so* much easier to abstract away certain changes, to
reverse operations such as "text-to-columns", and to avoid making errors.
I've had to concatenate a series of more than 20 cells before, and it
really
gets tedious after only the 3rd one. If I had to insert a column or row
to
the concatenation, I had to update the function again, and if I made a
mistake it was hard to detect, etc etc.
Are you happy for Excel to guess whether when you said (A1:B3) you intended
(A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3)
or
(A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3)?
