This seems clean and obvious once you learn it, and it will be easy for novices to learn, and it won't affect any existing (working) code.


So, if this is enough to solve the string concatenation problem to everyone's satisfaction without any other changes, I'm definitely +1 on it. 

Otherwise, I guess +0.
