Agreed. The point wasn't to get rid of that usage by any means, but
rather to propose an alternative to "." since that will likely get
gobbled up as a replacement for ->.

The only reason you'd have to use the op form of a string concat is when
you have to add stuff in that isn't evaluated inside quotes, like funcs.
