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.
