personally, i prefer a strict-typing behavior when using arithmetics.
for that reason, i prefer seeing error in

or
4 + someString
but not automagical conversion.

We still have a lot of awkward methods on String for doing math:
String >> #* arg

Who is relying on them? I would like to deprecate them all :D
I guess some binary math selectors might make sense
String >> #* count
^ self class new: self size * count streamContents: [ :stream|
count timesRepeat: [ stream << self ]].
