 What about using double-dot as the string concat operator:

You have missed a row for what the P5 .. operator becomes.
And the ... operator

That'll teach me to jump in without proper research. I had forgotten about
the .. range operator and I wasn't even aware of the ... variety (I am now).
I suppose it would be too cheeky to attempt to redeem myself by
suggesting - as a range operator? (I would have suggested - but that
introduces problems with it meaning the same as comma in some situations.)

P5P6
-.
.  ..
.=..=  (or =.. for concat after)
..-
...-

Another option I briefly considered for concat was   .+

Perhaps too many changes overall, but food for thought for those without
chronic indigestion already!

Ignore that. I'm getting confused with = sometimes meaning the same as
comma. I think I'll quit now before I dig myself any deeper :-)
