The documentation on the jdbc datastores is very light:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/jdbc/db2.html
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/jdbc/h2.html (not even 
enough to be supported)

Mostly just enough to have a single code example for "supported" status. I know 
there is a lot more substance there with respect to how id generation and so on 
is handled.

As for the capabilities; returning the list of mapped functions in a 
FilterCapabilities data structure would be a good idea.

There was a recent question (directed at andrea) about how to add more 
functions to the list of those "supported" for direct mapping into SQL. Your 
best bet is to hunt down that email and look at the classes in question; and 
yeah if you can figure out what is supported it would make a great addition to 
the documentation.

Looking it up now; lol - apparently you asked the question (with respect to the 
concat function).
