If an operation like (+) is used to add 1 + '1' then the

No, the int 1 should be cast to a string, and the result
should be the string '11'.
Oh, come on...clearly if you're adding mixed types, there's
significance to the difference, so the result should obviously be
the complex number
(1+1j)
Or maybe it should be the tuple
(1,1)
Or did I mean the list
[1,1]
It's all so obvious... :)
I didn't mind the auto-promotion (as much) in VB6 when I had an
explicit concat operator
1 & "1" ' returns "11"
vs
1 + "1" ' returns 2
