hmm. maybe we should go with -@///@- as the str cat operator... after all, notoriety can sometimes be good publicity, right? :-) i'm kidding, of course. For what it's worth, here's my opinion: -1 on overloading '+' -1 on using '&' instead +1 on using ':' such that: #set( $bar = 2 ) #set( $woogie = $tool.returnArbitraryObject() ) #set( $foo = "whatever$bar$woogie" ) is equivalent to #set( $bar = 2 ) #set( $woogie = $tool.returnArbitraryObject() ) #set( $foo = 'whatever' : $bar : $woogie ) what can i say? i like that best. i'll leave out arguments as i think pretty much everything's been said.
