Function to get all possible combinations

Function to get all possible combinations of list items. There are some Euler problems (like 77 & 78) to get total amounts. But e.g. for some card game implementations you will need the real items.

//See examples:

//Input: ["a";"b"]
//Output: ["a"; "b"; "ab"]

//Input: ["a";"b";"c";"d"] 
//Output: ["a"; "b"; "c"; "d"; "ab"; "ac"; "ad"; "bc"; "bd"; "cd"; "bcd"; "abc"; "abd"; "acd"; "abcd"]

//Input: [1;2;5]
//Output: [1; 2; 5; 3; 6; 7; 8]

//Input: [2;3;8;12] 
//Output: [2; 3; 8; 12; 5; 10; 14; 11; 15; 20; 23; 13; 17; 22; 25]
