Ironically, many of the places I see implicit concatenation used are where people need to work around linters complaining about line lengths. I understand the benefits of projects that mandate code passing lint checks, but I foresee sequences of commits: "Modify error X to be clearer" "Linter fix - split new message onto 2 lines to avoid long line" "Linter fix - explicitly concatenate with + because implicit concatenation is discouraged" "Linter fix - go back to the old message because the stupid linter complains about unnecessary addition of 2 constant values and I can't be bothered any more" Ok, the last one is a joke - but getting a set of rules that doesn't back the programmer into a corner where it's non-obvious how to achieve a simple goal could easily become a non-trivial task.
