That's my position.  I'd rather live without a concatenation operator
than use ~ or ^ for it.  But if we must have a concatenation operator,
I'd rather it be "cc" or "_" (I didn't like the underscore at first,
but it's grown on me a little) or some other punctuation that doesn't
already have some well-established-across-multiple-languages meaning.

anyway, my two cents ...
