Just another syntactical suggestion: the binary ++ operator is used as
concat in various contexts in various languages, and is probably less
likely to confuse people as being either a logical or binary &.

Its the applications where it *is* important that we should be looking at.
Um, yes, but given our relative positions in this debate, the onus is not really on *me* to demonstrate such an application, right? That would just confuse everbody ;-)
(FWIW, Sagemath is not mostly "numerical processing", it is mostly *symbolic* calculations and involves a lot of complex algorithms and datastructures, including sequences.)

Hi Steven,
To put this into perspective, I did some greps on Sagemath, being the largest Python project I have installed on this machine (1955 .py files).
And one which is especially focused on numerical processing, not really the sort of thing that does a much iterator chaining. That's hardly a fair test -- we know there are applications where chaining is not important at all. Its the applications where it *is* important that we should be looking at.
