Unfortunately this is existing syntax:

a++b

is parsed as

a+(+b)

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 &.

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.)
