How to create string concatenation operator which preserves trailing spaces
on CHAR(n) type columns ?

I tried code below, but it returns AB (without spaces).
How to force it to return A B (keep space after A) ?

Andrus.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.stringconcat(left text, right text)
RETURNS text
LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE
AS $BODY$
SELECT concat($1, $2) ;
$BODY$;

CREATE OPERATOR public.+ (
   leftarg = text,
   rightarg = text,
   procedure = public.stringconcat
);

create temp table test (col1  char(2)) on commit drop;
insert into test values ('A');
select col1 +  'B'
  from test;
