(file-append obj "some string") is a convenient alternative to
#~(string-append #$obj "some string").

In the latter "obj" becomes (for example)
"/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2", and
"(string-append ...)" combines
"/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2" and
"/bin/dash" to produce
"/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2/bin/dash"
