I do not type that fast ;-).

Very cunning, indeed. But it has as small efficiency problem because
of the use of (++). This can be easily cured by usin
This might be a reasonable solution for the the "concatenation" operator
you want:
[This does not solve the numeric ambiguity - I think that is impossible.]

I would be more inclined to use <<. The reason is typing efficiency.

You are acutally using (.) below. Is there a way to do that (via

Printf isn't really what I want, but I am happy to take a look.
I am really looking for a my scripting like

I would prefer to type something like:
