It's not that I don't understand your argument, Steve. I just don't find it effective. If we are going to distinguish between "arithmetic addition" and "concatenation", we should find another operator. As long as we *don't* do that, my personal preference would be to either remove "sum" completely, or have it work in a regular fashion, depending on which data type is passed to it, either as arithmetic addition or as sequence concatenation.
