Comment(by igloo):

 If it won't generalise `Text.Pretty.<>`, then I wonder why we don't name
 it `++` instead (and remove the current `++` definition).

 I guess the main argument against doing so would be error messages for
 beginners, but perhaps better error messages and/or helium are the answer
 to that.
