Comment (by david48):
In my opinion as a newbie, there are far more confusing things for newbies
than (++) being the mappend of monoids. And anyways, monoids is far from
being the hardest thing to understand in haskell, once you read a few well
written blog posts.
You can still learn to use ++ as the concatenation operator for strings,
and discover later that there is more to it than it looks.
I support generalizing the type of (++)
