Disagreed.
One of the main points of all languages is to emphasize ones aim,
espacially if there is a chance of misinterpretation because of the
language.
Example: there is only a tiny change in the characters from `31415' to `
3.1415'. Without function overloading this can be detected in D, because
the type of actual parameters changes and Walter dismissed automatic type
changes from `real' to `int'.
The situation the OP described sams quite similar to me.

I was replying to Rainer, not to the OP.
At present in the compiler there is no difference between "a" "b" and
"a" ~ "b". So implicit joining could be disallowed with loss of
functionality. But that fact isn't clear from the docs.
