If nothing else, the sheer number of requests guarantees that they won't all be done even if they were all great and really should be done. Bearophile does have a lot of good things to say, but he says so much so often that sometimes it becomes hard not to just tune him out. As for this particular request, I tend to agree. I don't see in point in adjacent strings concatenating. I never write my code that way, and it does seem error-prone. I'm not sure that I'm all that against it being in the language, but if it were my choice, I wouldn't have had it. - Jonathan M Davis
