That's not Rob's suggestion either.
Rob's suggestion is an operator which concats two substrings with
exactly one space between them, without stripping leading or trailing
whitespace of the result.
Examples:
a = "\nHeading:"
b = "Result\n\n"
a & b
would give "\nHeading: Result\n\n"
s = " my hovercraft\n"
t = " is full of eels\n"
s & t
would give " my hovercraft is full of eels\n"
I find the concept is very easy to understand: "concat with exactly one
space between the operands". But I must admit I'm struggling to think
of cases where I would use it.
I like the look of the & operator for concatenation, so I want to like
this proposal. But I think I will need to see real world code to
understand when it would be useful.
